Contemporary Debates in Global Health: the UCL perspective
UCL Institute for Global Health Grand Symposium
To mark the first 5 years of the UCL Institute for Global Health, we convened a Grand Symposium of high level UCL academics and outstanding external speakers and panel members to consolidate our learning and priorities for 2012-13.
Highlights of the day included a research review from IGH academics, a memorial talk given by Dr. Felicitas Zewaira (WHO representative to Malawi) honouring Prof Zef Ibrahim and keynote addresses by Liz Mason (WHO), Prof Albert Weale (UCL Political Science) and Prof Georgina Mace (UCL Genetics, Ecology & Environment). A powerful array of panellists, led by expert chairs Sir Cyril Chantler (UCL Partners), Dr Fiona Godlee (BMJ) and Prof Maria Lee (UCL Laws), debated quality of care implications, global health governance and a sustainable planet following the MDGs.
The day concluded with the launch of The Global Doctor, a new guide for teaching in global health produced in conjunction with the Institute of Education with funds from DFID.
