New: Philanthropic Sponsorship Opportunities
Building the eHealth workforce in low-income countries is just as important as providing technical infrastructure and systems. Sponsoring a student to undertake the Edinburgh masters in Global eHealth has real potential to influence the pace of eHealth and improve patient outcomes in such countries and many if our previous graduates have gone on to hold positions of influence in the sector.
If your organisation would be willing to sponsor a student from a low-income country, please contact the programme director, Dr Claudia Pagliari claudia.pagliari@ed.ac.uk
