About

The Bixby Center for Population, Health, and Sustainability is a collaboration of students, faculty, researchers, and staff working to improve maternal health and address the impact of population on global public health and the environment.

The Center is located at the University of California, Berkeley, and works closely with leaders of organizations around the world, as well as government officials throughout Africa and Asia.

The Center is dedicated to developing innovations to improve reproductive health in resource-poor settings, including reliable health information systems, local access to essential technologies, and guidelines for prioritizing interventions to maximize health impact.   

 The Center assists in the implementation of maternal health programs and seeks to improve the health outcomes of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable women and their families.

On January 22, 2009 Dr. Malcolm Potts, chair of the Bixby Center for Population Health and Sustainability spoke on the work of the center and the need to address rapid population growth and the unmet need for family planning worldwide- see the video of his comments on this page.
