Health Systems Global: a calling and a challenge

By Asha George, HSG Board Candidate 2016

I am honored to be standing for election for the Health Systems Global Board. While my cv and statement of interest supports my candidacy, I encourage everyone to look at all the candidates running for election.

Inspired by my South African colleague Vera Scott drawing on centuries of Malaysian tradition in poetry, I hope more are intrigued to engage with the HSG elections and also with HSG more broadly… and perhaps realize how much better they may be at health systems poetry than me!
