Global Health Magazine

Medsin produces a global health magazine twice a year, which is distributed to Medsin members at the Global Health Conference in March and the National Conference in October.

The theme of each magazine will coincide with the theme of the conference; the first edition, for example, was themed around 'Power and Politics in Global Health' and the most recent edition (Number 6) was themed around Neglected Tropical Diseases and Mental Health (‘The Mad and the Bad’), which was the chosen theme for our Cambridge Global Health Conference in March 2011.

The History of the Medsin Magazine

The first ever issue of the Medsin Magazine was produced and distributed at the National Conference 2008, UCL in October. It was on the theme of Power, Politics and Global Health - in line with the theme of the National Conference. Since then the founding editor, Mark Lavery, has passed on the baton to a new editor (Eva Hesmondhalgh). In May 2011 a brand new editor will be elected, so the future of the magazine is in your hands.

Past Issues:

  • Issue one – Power, Politics and Global Health (UCL)
  • Issue two – Medical Interventions in Global Health (Manchester)
  • Issue three – Vulnerability in Health (Nottingham)
  • Issue four – 2050 – A Healthy Future? (Newcastle)
  • Issue five – Millenium Development Goals: 10 Years on (Swansea)
  • Issue six – The Mad and The Bad (Cambridge)
