East of England Global Health Conference

On 23^rd November we held the third East of England Global Health Conference, delivered in partnership with an organising committee comprising individuals from Cambridge Africa, Health Education England – East of England, Hughes Hall Global Health Bridge and NHS England, and with primary sponsorship from Costello Medical.

It was wonderful to come together in person in Cambridge with people from across the East of England and via a hybrid format with delegates and partners from across the world. We were delighted to welcome some twenty presenters and over 100 delegates to discuss the theme of Global Health – Rising to the Challenges. Lucy Chappell and Mike Batley from NIHR and Sridhar Venkatapuram from Kings Global Health Institute gave keynote addresses, and our conversations covered a huge breadth of challenges from antimicrobial resistance to hybrid health partnerships to decolonising global health.

The conference also gave us the chance to present a Social Return on Investment Analysis, focusing on our maternal and neonatal heath partnership in Uganda, which we have completed with pro-bono support from Costello Medical – an organisation which provides expertise in the analysis, interpretation and communication of health-related data. We look forward to sharing the full results and report early next year.

After nearly three years of online events, we relished the networking opportunities that in person events bring and enjoyed meeting old and new colleagues. You can see a recording of the event here.
