Dear Readers, 

I am so delighted to announce the Geneva Health Files fellows for 2025 from nearly a dozen countries around the world.

They bring a formidable, collective expertise with backgrounds in medical, legal and the field of humanities. Many of our fellows will write for our readership, help in production, and others will also assist with the business aspects of our journalistic initiative.

I am honored to learn from, and work with this inter-disciplinary team of fellows. In the previous years, we have gained much from such an annual programme, both in terms of enriching the content we serve for our readers, but also getting to know very smart professionals interested in global health, and/or journalism.

In this today edition, we bring you our second jobs listing. We started this last month, and have been pleased with the feedback we have received on this.

We hope to hear from organizations and companies looking to share their open positions or assignments. Our readers include experts across global health, and we are keen on sharing our assiduously built community to help make connections. The idea is to showcase few but meaningful roles in global health anywhere in the world.

Looking to recruit a consultant or advertise a position? Reach us at genevahealthfiles@gmail.com with “GHF Jobs Scanner” in the subject line.

Thank you for your engagement.

Support public interest global health journalism, become a paying subscriber. Tracking global health policy-making in Geneva is tough and expensive. Help us raise important questions, and in keeping an ear to the ground. makes this possible.

Our gratitude to our subscribers who help us stay in the game!

More soon!

Best,

Priti Patnaik & Julia Dötzer
