Paulomi Sengupta

As Global Health Education Director, my role is all about spreading the word on global health. Whether that’s helping branches run short courses, hosting interactive sessions or social media campaigns – I’m happy to help! Also make sure to check out the Hub on the SfGH website for educational resources and toolkits to help you host your own local global health education events. Finally, keep an eye on our social media for opportunities to get involved in bigger projects across the network!

Our plans for the year:

Working on the coordinated theme: Race & Health is the focus of this year with a host of exciting opportunities to learn and get involved. Make sure to check out our page in the Fresher’s booklet and social media to learn more.
Supporting the launch of the Global Health Education in Schools (GHEiS) programme, alongside the GHEiS Director: another opportunity for members to get involved in global health education on a local and national level!
Liaising with members to run global health education sessions and offering resources: we’re talking podcasts, newsletters, social media snapshots of issues and much more!
