The Oxford Global Health Group is an enthusiastic, student-run society that aims to promote interest in international health issues, and raise money for various medical charities.

The society was created in 2004, starting with a World AIDS Day event which included speeches from the co-discoverers of HIV and the International President of Medecins Sans Frontieres. Since then, OGHG has organised annual conferences for World AIDS, TB and Malaria Day.

In addition, OGHG regularly invites speakers to talk to our members on a wide range of global health topics. These small group masterclasses take the form of a short talk followed by a lively and informal discussion.
Over the years, our masterclasses have included topics such as:

* Tropical medicine
* Disaster and relief medicine
* Practising medicine and surgery in the developing world * Social and economical problems contributing to global healthcare inequalities

This year will also see masterclasses in which members will be taught practical tropical skills
