About the network
The network seeks to provide networking opportunities for students, alumni and friends at LSHTM who are from Asia or interested in the region. The community brings a sense of belonging to its members and provides a place where LSHTM students from all over the world can get connected and learn from each other.
Together, the network believes that they can solve the public health issues in Asia.
