Scholarship: Harriette Kelso Scholarship
Programme: DTM&H
My passion for addressing global health challenges, particularly in tropical regions, stems from my background in a tropical area. This fervour drives my pursuit of further education at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM). Renowned for its specialisation in tropical medicine and global health, LSTM's emphasis on practical, field-based learning aligns with my academic and professional goals. I am inspired by LSTM's commitment to instigating real change in the public health sector, and I eagerly anticipate contributing to this mission through my studies and future endeavours.
Career Aspirations and Envisioned Impact:
My dream is to contribute significantly to global health equity by narrowing health disparities in tropical areas. As a future researcher, healthcare provider, or policy maker, my focus will be on tropical illnesses, public health interventions, and healthcare system strengthening. LSTM's education is pivotal in achieving these goals, providing the specific knowledge needed for influential research and effective intervention implementation. The practical experience and networks gained through LSTM's programs will facilitate collaboration with various stakeholders, leading to tangible improvements in healthcare delivery and outcomes. In summary, my studies at LSTM will propel me into my career journey, addressing tropical diseases and gendered medical issues.
Significance of the Scholarship:
Receiving the Harriette Kelso Scholarship holds immense personal and academic significance. It not only alleviates financial pressures but also validates my academic abilities, allowing me to focus wholeheartedly on my studies. The scholarship opens doors to resources and opportunities for excellence in global health and tropical medicine.
Contributions to Tropical Medicine and Global Health:
Studying at LSTM will equip me with the knowledge and competence needed to effect substantial changes in tropical diseases and global health. The in-depth understanding gained will enable me to contribute to innovative treatments, diagnostics, and prevention measures through research. Engaging in fieldwork with local healthcare providers will enhance healthcare outcomes in tropical areas, while advocacy for evidence-based policies aims to bring about policy changes and raise awareness. Ultimately, my education will bridge the gap in global health disparities, promoting health equity worldwide.
