Next week the Dorset Global Health Network will have its inaugural meeting on April 25th.  The meeting will focus on Nepal starting at 18.30 with a Nepalese buffet.

There will be three short presentations followed by the film ‘Hospital’.

• Voluntourism in Nepal : A lesson in the grey areas of global health (Dr Emer Forde, Bournemouth University)
• The challenge of perinatal mental health in Nepal (Prof. Edwin van Teijlingen, Bournemouth University)
• Supporting Training and innovative solutions to the provision of rural health care in Nepal (Dr Ollie Ross, Consultant Anaesthetist, Southampton General Hospital)

The Film “Hospital” provides a portrait of a state-run hospital in one of the most remote and poor districts of Nepal and how individuals can make a difference to people’s lives. It will be introduced by Dr Ollie Ross, who is a consultant to the Nick Simons Institute working in Nepal.

This will be followed by a discussion about the development of Dorset Global Health Network.
