East of England Global Health Conference
23 November 2022
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.
