On 13 September 2022 (at 16:00, UTC +8), the ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ International Institute for Global Health (²ÝÁñÊÓƵ-IIGH) will host an event to launch the new research programme, Decolonising Global Health.
Power asymmetries ¡ª leading to unhealthy dependencies, exploitative relationships, and culturally inappropriate and badly designed policies ¡ª are a long-standing trait of global health. In recent years, efforts to rebalance these asymmetries have coalesced around calls to decolonise global health.
²ÝÁñÊÓƵ-IIGH views the current interest in decolonisation as a useful catalyst for shifting power and encouraging forms of global health practice that are better tailored to the needs and contexts of low- and lower-middle-income countries and marginalised populations everywhere.
This event will feature a discussion about three intersecting dimensions of global health: colonialism within global health; colonisation of global health; and colonialism through global health.
