The project continues
The global health scene is still largely dominated by Northern stakeholders.
In 2008 the Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp, Belgium decided to actively encourage the presence of Southern based experts on the global health scene. It started with a modest newsletter and blog that is currently followed by 2,000+ subscribers. But that wasn't enough! In an attempt to actively engage people from the global south in international academic conferences and to raise their voice in the scientific debate the Emerging Voices Venture was born. You can find a short description of the venture on the 2010 webpage.
And the Emerging Voices also have themselves heard on several fora:
- Follow them on Twitter: ev4GH
- Follow them on Facebook
- Subscribe to the Emerging Voices - IHP newsletter to stay tuned about global health.
