SCHN Global Children's Health Showcase

We would be delighted if you could join us for the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network (SCHN) Global Children’s Health Showcase.

As you will see from the program, we will be hearing from speakers touching on a wide range of activities in which staff of SCHN are involved in partnership with other organisations. We will be sharing the framework for future work of SCHN in supporting children’s health globally.

All SCHN staff and those involved and interested in global health of children are welcome to attend.
