The first East and Southern Africa Regional People’s Health University (ESA-RPHU) course jointly convened by Regional Network for Equity in Health in East and Southern Africa (EQUINET) and People’s Health Movement- East and Southern Africa (PHM-ESA) is being held virtually to build and share evidence, experience, analysis and knowledge on health equity to support regional co-operation and joint engagement, from local to global level, on shared priorities.
THE COURSE
The course will have a 10 WEEK INTERACTIVE PROGRAMME in English covering key issues and actions to advance health equity in the ESA region.
