‘The Global Health Fellowship is a unique opportunity to get connected to like minded people within the deanery, the Cambridge Global Health Partnerships and carry out a project in relation to your specialty. Having nurtured an interest in Global Maternal Health for many years, and undertaken various global health projects, the fellowship offered a convenient and exciting opportunity to carry this out alongside my speciality training program. Since starting the program I have been connected with an academic in Maternal and Fetal Medicine who has an interest and connections with research ongoing in the Global South. I have collaborated with some of this ongoing work to write up and analyse data on maternal mortality for a paper we hope to publish. It will be a great achievement collectively and personally to have this work published, which we hope will improve the care that can be provided to women in similar circumstances both at the study centre and beyond. I hope that this fellowship program can continue long in to the future, so that other trainees can similarly benefit from it, and collectively we can raise the profile of Global Health within our deanery and speciality.’ Dr Sarah Chukwuma
