The newly appointed Global Health Ambassadors organised the King's Global Institute Students' Launch event, which took place in February in Bush House.
With the thought-provoking question, 'Is global health a modern form of imperialism?', it was up to the invited panellists - Dr Suveer Sachdeva: PhD student in the Department of Craniofacial Development and Stem Cell Biology; Zsófia Szlamka: PhD candidate in loPPN; Dr Carlo Caduff: Department of Social Science, Health and Medicine; Dr Ed Gomez: Department of International Development; Temitope Fiyaso: KCL Medical School; Beauty Dhlamini: BA Global Health and Social Medicine - to debate, with the wider audience, the dynamics of whether this was the case. By far, the vote was yes.
There was seen to be a lack of equal opportunity in global health careers, with most opportunities restricted to elite university students.
