Abbos Jon
Co-Head Policy
I am Abbos, I am currently a 5th year medical student at the University of Bristol. My time spent in hospitals in low and middle income countries compounded my interest in global health. It made me want to explore what the most effective way of working and contributing to Global Health. In the Global Health space I think there's a lot of low hanging fruit that with the right combination of research and expertise can be ameliorated to improve the lives of many people and reduce suffering. As Co-head of policy my role is to try and find projects and collaborations that deliver our goal of reduced global suffering.
