Photo Competition: Global Health in the Digital World
Make sure to enter our photography competition, open to RSTMH members and Fellows.
The digital world is evolving at a rapid pace, and the intersection of healthcare and artificial intelligence is at the forefront of this changing landscape.
AI has transformed how health care services are delivered, from drug development to personalised medicine, to disease monitoring and surveillance.
We would like RSTMH imagery and brand to reflect how AI, machine learning, and digital technologies more generally are reshaping global health research, surveillance, and service delivery around the world.
We're looking for our members & Fellows to capture the intersection between global health and technology, and how the digital revolution – including artificial intelligence – is changing how we practice healthcare.
So, if you have a photo that you think could be relevant, submit it to our photo competition to be in with the chance to win a £200 cash prize.
Deadline: January 11, 2026.

Tips & Guidelines:
Some of the things our judges may be looking out for:
- Photos that are positive and empowering
- Be active (plain backgrounds and natural light better)
- Be high resolution to avoid pixelation/blurriness (take a range of shots, keep original files if needed for print)
- If there is a focus on people to ensure they are portrayed in a dignified, non-exploitative way
- Have a photojournalistic, candid feel: natural smiles, real interactions and movements
- Have the permissions and consent of any subject to share the photo.
The Essential Care Package (ECP) provides governments, health leaders, and frontline services with clear guidance on integrating mental health support and stigma reduction into existing NTD programmes and health systems, including prevention, identification, assessment, management, and follow-up.
We at RSTMH were deeply saddened to hear that Professor Sir Nicholas White died a few days ago. Sir Nicholas was a distinguished clinician and scientist who was internationally recognised as the leading figure in improving the treatment of malaria worldwide, and his work has made a lasting contribution to global health research.
