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.

Behind the scaffolding: See inside. See why it matters.
Something remarkable is happening at the Radcliffe Observatory.
Our new film takes you behind the scenes to discover the extraordinary expertise, dedication and craftsmanship involved in conserving one of Oxford`s most significant buildings. With works progressing at pace, the Observatory is entering an exciting new chapter.
The Radcliffe Observatory was created through the generosity of one generation. Its survival depends on the stewardship of another. Its legacy will be inherited by generations yet to come.
Thanks to existing supporters, important progress is already being made. But there is still much to do.
Now, we have an opportunity to play our part in securing the Observatory`s future.
Be part of what comes next.
