Scientific Council


The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Scientific Council oversees and makes key scientific decisions about the GBD process and methods. The Council is composed of leading experts in fields related to GBD. It is not a substitute for peer review of publications or periodic reviews from independent groups. A summary of decisions made by the GBD Scientific Council can be downloaded here.

For any questions, please contact the GBD Secretariat at [email protected].
