Plymouth University has set up a Global health collaborative which involves researchers and clinicians in the South West who have links to Global Health work. This includes partnerships, education, volunteering and research. Everyone there is an enthusiast. We have projects from Antartica to Uganda. The Global Health research element focuses on education projects such as Ebola health care workers safety training and chronic lung disease: prevention and treatment. The research projects are funded through industry, MRC, Wellcome Trust, DFID, Mayo Clinic and Horizon 2020. Our projects run in Uganda, Vietnam, Kyrgyzstan and Greece (remote mountain villages) and are likely to spread to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal.<\/p>\n
