Alma Mata

Publications

Collaborating to produce publications that inform health professionals and students about various aspects of global health is an important part of Alma Mata's work.

Publications have included the results of surveys of Alma Mata members, some of which have recently been used to inform government policy in the Lord Crisp’s report “Global Health Partnerships: The UK contribution to health in developing countries.”

The network went a step further in May 2009, launching an online journal, the Alma Mata Journal of Global Health.
