Scholarship Award

As part of the TGHN 2022 conference, the TGHN AMR symposium will strive to ensure equitable access, representation, and participation in the symposium bringing together practitioners, researchers, funders, and policymakers to enable open discussion and dialogue.

To facilitate this vision, our partners will help support attendance for some delegates from low- and middle-income countries. 

This conference is being organised on a not-for-profit basis. Every delegate who can pay to attend will be supporting a delegate who would otherwise not be able to attend.

Reasonable costs to cover your stay including: return flights (economy) to South Africa from your country for one person; bed and breakfast accommodation in Cape Town; conference registration and conference dinner fees; transfers from Cape Town airport to accommodation.
