Each year, a cohort of 28 mid-career professionals from around the world takes part in the International Politics and Diplomacy for Health for Emerging Leaders Executive Programme. The programme is led by an experienced faculty and advisory team with extensive, hands-on experience in both regional and global health politics and diplomacy.
