Short Course on Gender in Infectious Diseases
---------------------------------------------
Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, UK
May 2001
Dear Colleagues,
I am writing to you on behalf of the Gender and Health Group at the
Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine that was established in 1995.
The multi-disciplinary group has been at the forefront of work in
gender and health, applying gender analysis and planning in their ar-
eas of expertise.
We are running for the second time a short course in Gender, Health
and Communicable Disease, which will take place in May 2001. The
course aims to enhance the capacity of policy makers and planners to
analyse and address gender inequities in health and health care in
developing countries. The course will have a specific focus on gender
in infectious diseases such as TB, malaria and Sexually Transmitted
Infections and the implications for Health Systems Development. The
course is aimed at senior level policy makers, planners and managers
in health from national ministries, international or national health
organisations and Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs). Course fa-
cilitators and advisory board are drawn from a range of institutional
settings internationally, including WHO, international and national
NGOs, universities and consultants in gender planning and training.
We would be grateful if you could bring the course to the attention
of those you feel may be interested in it. If you would be interested
in supporting this initiative in any way we would be pleased to pro-
vide you with further information and fliers for distribution.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Sally Theobald
