The Jameel Arts & Health Lab—a partnership between Community Jameel, the World Health Organisation (WHO), New York University Steinhardt School and CULTURUNNERS—was launched in 2023 to generate and amplify research into how the arts can improve the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities in some of the most challenging contexts around the world. This year, the lab will run four research studies that use music and the arts to support the lives of women with postnatal depression, genocide survivors, people with dementia and their caretakers, as well as hospital patients and healthcare staff, with the intention to use the outcomes to shape public policy across all 194 United Nations member states.
