Government Relations and Strategic Partnerships Team

We lead Wellcome’s diplomatic efforts, advocating for change in our world, and building the knowledge and partnerships that help us reach our goals.

We focus on climate and health, mental health and infectious disease, working closely with Policy and Corporate Affairs teams to deliver coordinated global political and cultural outreach. Our key stakeholders include governments and public bodies, multilateral organisations, the private sector and philanthropies.
