APPG Connecting Communities Health

On Tuesday 1st February I chaired another meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group, "Connecting Communities". The APPG is intended to encourage twinning partnerships between schools, hospitals, community groups, local authorities and faith groups with counterpart communities and groups in developing countries. This meeting was focused on raising the awareness of MPs and Peers about the growing number of health partnerships between health care institutions in the UK with counterparts in the developing world. It was a very informative meeting, which included a talk by a representative from the Department of Health, and I was encouraged by the number of MPs that attended which I hope will continue its rising trend for the next meeting.
