COVID-19 mortality rates in Indonesia, the highest in Southeast Asia, are dominated by those in the 60 years and above age bracket. In this article published in The Conversation, Kartika Saraswati and fellow DPhil students elaborate how, by prioritising vaccination for elderly, Indonesia may optimally reduce the hospital burden and COVID-19 deaths amidst a limited vaccine supply during the first vaccination phase.
IHTM Podcasts
The IHTM podcast series provides a platform to discuss and address some of the current challenges in global health, particularly in resource limited contexts. The series draws on IHTM faculty, teachers and alumni, who are at the forefront of international health, and we hope the podcasts appeal to a broad global health audience and in particular the populations and organisations with which IHTM alumni work.
MSc Modelling in Global Health
The MSc in Modelling for Global Health is a full-time one-year taught programme that provides interdisciplinary content on modelling, health evidence to inform the modelling, and policy processes to inform decisions. Week-long modules are delivered through a mix of interactive practical sessions and lectures in person at Oxford. Demand for a skilled workforce in this field is on the rise and there is great potential for mathematical and economic modelling to help guide policy for national health systems and international policymaking.
