On 3 December, the Expert Group for Aid Studies will be hosting a conference, in Swedish, on the trends, challenges and opportunities in the field of global health.
Better health is an important part of Swedish development aid and the EU’s work on global health is playing an increasingly important role. In light of global changes and new trends, there is a need to review Sweden’s role and overall contribution to global health and what opportunities there are for more catalytic health assistance. In conjunction with the conference, EBA will launch its anthology on trends in global health.
