In our increasingly interconnected world, many people suffer from illness and poor quality of life due to systemic social, economic, political, and commercial inequalities.
The Covid-19 pandemic reinforced how many people are dying from preventable diseases simply because of where they live or who they are.
This part-time MSc in Global Health Equity addresses the urgent need to prioritise equality in global health policy and practices.
