December Newsletter

A short history of 2020

The Hippocratic Aphorisms opens, “Life is short, the art is long, opportunity fleeting, experiment dangerous, and judgement difficult.” It was after reading about education in Ancient Greek society that the idea of Cov360 came about. 

Since operating voluntarily, we have sought to further education in public health.

We’ve published 38 peer-reviewed trend reports. Over 30 videos, including a documentary in Bermuda and an interview in Chinese! Speakers from leading institutions, including a former world leader, Justice under Mandela, and the youngest Royal Society award recipient.

On 27th Nov. Cov360 obtained charitable status.

Two featured 2021 projects

Reducing Maternal Mortality in Cameroon

Partnership with the Welisane Foundation

We partnered with the Welisane Foundation to reduce maternal mortality in Cameroon using a culture-centric approach. Our strategy is to create and deliver health communication informed by local expertise.

This project is under the supervision of the Ministry for Public Health in Cameroon.

Gen-Z - Public health and the pandemic

Partnership with Debut

In partnership Debut, we sought to understand what Gen-Z thought about the pandemic. We suggested topics to help us start the conversation on integrating public health into civil society, work, and education.

In the new year, Cov360 will launch up to four sub-projects with Gen-Z.
