The Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity in Southeast Asia seek to promote and improve health equity throughout the region, particularly among the most vulnerable and marginalized populations.
Fellows are the next generation of transformative leaders from 10 ASEAN countries and China who will work to reform health policy and systems, tackle social determinants, and address health inequities within and beyond national boundaries.
Fellows will form the core of a multi-sectoral community—a thriving network of health equity practitioners who are committed to pursuing social justice in health.
