Global Health: Paradigms, Progress, Priorities and Partnerships
This Symposium is part of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh’s ‘Hot Topic’ series. It will provide an opportunity to hear world-leading experts speaking on a range of topical issues in global health. This will include global health governance, how to respond to non-communicable disease and stillbirth challenges in low- and middle-income countries, challenges in malaria control and reducing child mortality, new approaches to priority setting in global health, and successful examples of partnerships between UK health groups and organisations in low- and middle-income countries. The day will close with a session run by THET giving guidance for those who may be considering volunteering or setting up partnerships.
There will be an opportunity to present posters in two areas of global health work: 1) instutitional health partnerships, and 2) undergraduate student health projects in low-income and middle-income countries. Deadline for submission: Friday, 2 August 2013. Prizes will be given for the best poster in each category.
