We hope everyone is having a great semester and enjoying learning lots about global health and other global issues! Though we've slowed down our posts on this page recently, we've just launched a new CCGHR - Canadian Coalition for Global Health Research Facebook Page that will be sharing all sorts of interesting global health news and CCGHR updates in the coming months. We hope you can join us and continue the conversation, and thanks as always for your incredible passion for global health!
