Passionate About:

For the last 6 years I have been interested in legal and human rights in developing countries.
I have tried through being involved with a variety of charities to do my bit to help, however I feel that now is the time I stopped hiding behind yearly donations and charitable fundraisers and actually got involved. I want the personal experience of being there first hand, forming the connections and seeing even the slightest difference in one person's life.

About Us

University of Edinburgh is a chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. We work in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana who would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are provided access to healthcare and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. nnIn conjunction with our Medical Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with economic development, sanitation and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.
