Country Ambassadors

Our Country Ambassadors are individuals who are based in the country they represent and use their knowledge and networks to help us deliver our work in a more global way. They help share the work of RSTMH with their networks and also advise us on how we could work more effectively with the Country they are based in. 

They RSTMH Country Ambassadors let us know about recent news, success and challenges within the global health community in their country and also advise on which individuals and organisations we should be aware of, and working with. They help us reach more people who are working in or interested in global health and tropical medicine across the world.
