GP038: Global Health from Home with Emily Eglitis

In response to a need for wheelchairs identified by a physiotherapy school in Nepal, Emily initiated a project to help them acquire more wheelchairs. She elicited the help of physiotherapists at an Australian physiotherapy school near her and they are currently in the needs analysis stage of the project. Emily has found a creative way to participate in global health work while still being able to stay at home and be with her family. Not only is she helping address a lack of resources in Nepal, but she is also spreading global health knowledge through her work with physiotherapy students. I loved discussing this project with her and it got my mind buzzing with ideas for my own projects. I hope it does the same for you!
