Warwick welcomes visiting PhD Fellows in May and June from the African Hub
The Warwick Centre for Global Health is a dynamic research and education network working with individuals, disciplines and organisations in health and social systems around the world.
Our mission is to co-develop transferable lessons, practical solutions and build capacity to address global health challenges and inequalities.
While our multi-disciplinary team of researchers, teachers, professional staff and students are drawn from departments and units across the University of Warwick, the heartbeat of our Centre's activity lies in our broader global networks.
Our work spans four intersecting themes:
Leads:
Prof Sharifah Sekalala and Dr Brianne Wenning
Improving disease diagnosis and prediction
Leads:
Dr Sagar Jilka and Prof Meg Davis
Mental health, NCDs, multi-morbidity
Leads:
Prof Ponnusamy Saravanan, Prof Paramjit Gill, and Prof Swaran Singh

Swaran’s visit to Nigeria concluded with a productive team meeting to reflect on the week’s work, review ISOBAR project progress and map out the next steps. After recording a visual podcast to capture key insights, the visit wrapped up and Swaran and the teams shared their goodbyes.
Day Two of Professor Swaran Preet Singh’s visit signalled a transition from reflection to action. The day brought together students, educators, researchers, policymakers, and institutional leadership, offering an opportunity to observe the project's impact on the ground, reaffirm institutional support, and take stock of lessons emerging from implementation.
