Is Global Health Neocolonialist? in the series Global Health Lab Discussions

Location: John Snow Lecture Theatre, LSHTM, Keppel Street, London, WC1E 7HT, UK
 
Global health as an endeavour has expanded substantially over the past two decades and offers great promise to improve lives. It signifies a commitment to improving health and health equity that transcends the perspectives and concerns of individual nations and that addresses transnational issues and solutions. But who asserts the values and measures of global health, where does the power lie in directing global health, and who are the real beneficiaries? Does the term Global Health just mask neocolonial interests? 
Chairs:
  Martin McKee (ECOHOST & LSHTM) and Richard Horton (The Lancet)
Speakers:
 Maysoon Dahab (Royal Society of Medicine) 
Sophie Harman (Queen Mary University of London) & 
Derek Summerfield (Institute of Psychiatry)
Admission: Free and open to all with no ticket required. Admission will be on a first come first served basis.
