Oxford Global Health and Care Systems Society
About
The Oxford Global Health and Care Systems Society (OGHCS) was founded to serve as an interactive platform for students at the University of Oxford to engage and brainstorm on contemporary global health and care system issues.
The society is comprised of a diverse interdisciplinary group of students who share an interest in global health issues, with a particular focus on health systems strengthening and recovery. Membership is open to students from all colleges in the University of Oxford although the OGHCS is administratively affiliated to and supported by the Green Templeton College (GTC).
The Society also enables members to network and expand their professional networks with Global Health Leaders and Healthcare enthusiasts within and beyond the University of Oxford.
All college members are welcome to attend Oxford Global Health and Care Systems Society events. Details of forthcoming events will be shared on this page.
