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.

Happy Friday! Our front lawn landscaping project is truly taking shape. This week the stone bench was delivered and installed.
The stars aligned at Green Templeton recently – and we have Emeritus Fellow Professor John Lennox to thank for it.
John has generously donated the college a telescope and telescope house, which Principal Sir Michael Dixon formally named The Lennox Telescope at a small ceremony and plaque unveiling.
The donation has already begun to open up the night sky to students, with fully booked stargazing evenings led by Professor of Astrophysics Rob Fender and the college`s astrophysics research associates.
For John, whose academic work sits at the intersection of science, philosophy and theology, the telescope carries real meaning – reconnecting the college with the original purpose of its historic Radcliffe Observatory setting.
Indeed, the gift comes at a meaningful moment, as the college continues work to preserve and conserve the Observatory through the Preserving the Past | Inspiring the Future campaign.
PS. More stargazing sessions are on the way 🌙
