Why Health Equity and Leadership?

Health equity means that everyone has a fair opportunity to be as healthy as possible, but there are many non-medical factors that influence this like income, education, policy, and other social systems affecting daily life. These issues cannot be solved by the health sector alone, which is why the Equity Initiative is looking for Fellows from a wide range of sectors who are passionate about health equity, and can lead a community dedicated to fairer societies in Southeast Asia and China!

Fellowship Program

The Fellowship program seeks to inspire and deepen the Fellows’ commitment to advance social justice in health.
