We were very sad to hear that long-term member Professor Anthony Bryceson recently died. Anthony had been an RSTMH member since 1967 and served on the Council and on the Medals and Awards Committee in 1983 and 1984. He was also Honorary Secretary from 1985 to 1989 and was awarded the Chalmers Medal in 1979. Please find below an obituary written by three former RSTMH Presidents about Anthony and his many achievements. 

The winners of this year’s President Fund, which supports potential RSTMH members from low- and low-middle income countries by paying awardees’ annual membership subscription for three years, have been announced.

We are delighted to announce Professor Abebaw Fekadu, as our latest annual RSTMH Honorary Fellow.

We’re happy to announce the winner of our 2022 Student Essay Prize, now in its fourth year.
