Rohan Singh
Co-Head of Policy
My name is Rohan Singh and I am a 3rd-year medical student at the University of Liverpool. I am contributing author to the expert report on Child health inequalities for the UK Covid Inquiry. I developed a deep passion for global health after an experience running public health workshops in rural Fiji, where I witnessed firsthand the impact of healthcare disparities in underserved communities. Now, I am eager to collaborate with like-minded stakeholders to shape evidence-based policies that address global health challenges and promote equitable access to healthcare worldwide.
I am a medical student at the University of Leeds, currently intercalating in MSc public health at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. I have been part of Polygeia for the past four years in the Leeds and Cambridge branches. Having thoroughly enjoyed those years, I am keen to be part of the further development of Polygeia. More specifically, I am excited to help foster a supportive environment in which students with a passion for global health can tangibly contribute to global health efforts and develop interest and skills. I have a particular interest in humanitarian emergency responses, using health as a tool for development, and policy formulation.
