New class for the Fall semester, 2021!

Dear Global Health Colleagues,

A group of researchers representing several global health consortiums and organizations is inviting focal points for global health partnerships to take a short survey. The goal of this survey is to better understand existing global health partnerships; their preferences for virtual activities during the COVID-19 pandemic; the potential barriers to those activities; and what factors may increase their chances for success.

If you are involved in a global health partnership, please consider this a formal invitation to complete the survey yourself, your input is crucial to the project!

The surveys can be accessed here:

English: https://redcap-uat.mcri.ac.ug/redcap/surveys/?s=PNHR7CPLFL

French: https://redcap-uat.mcri.ac.ug/redcap/surveys/?s=L7FF3NP3MN

Spanish: https://redcap-uat.mcri.ac.ug/redcap/surveys/?s=LNJXXTDD74

NOTE: The survey is housed in a server owned by our Ugandan colleagues, and there are sometimes outages; if you cannot connect to the survey, please try again later.

And if you can, we would be so appreciative if you would send this to your colleagues or partners who are involved in your or other global health partnerships. Anyone who serves as a focal point or a key person in the partnership is able to participate, and more than one person per partnership or per institution can complete the survey. Please feel free to cut and paste this message to personalize the invitation to your colleagues. The more people who respond, and the more countries we can represent, the better our insight into this developing need.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact [email protected].

We know that everyone is overwhelmed right now due to the COVID-19 pandemic and everything else occurring around the world - we cannot thank you enough for using some of your limited and precious time to consider taking the survey.

The Seasonal Influenza webinar is open to all students, faculty, staff, community members and leaders with an interest in Global Health work.

The Center for Global Health (CGH) is hosting the Seasonal Influenza: Strategies for Vaccination, Prevention and Control Webinar on October 26- 30, 2020 from 8:00AM to 9:15AM. This event is to promote an open forum for a constructive, moderated discussion on the available evidence in the development and use of seasonal influenza vaccines, along with their advantages and disadvantages, in an academic environment devoid of conflict of interest. The work will help lead to better decision making in low and middle-income countries and will assist with the development of a white paper on influenza vaccines. You will hear from expert leaders who have worked directly with seasonal influenza in the Latin America and Caribbean areas.
