I wrote a blog post post ('Historicising state-NGO relations in global drug access campaigns: the case of the Bangladesh drug policy of 1982'), which is a reflection on a wealth of documentation I came across in the War on Want archives in SOAS last summer. www.dhm.manchester.ac.uk/blog/histori...

Looking forward to discussing Ready to Use Therapeutic Foods and the construction of success in humanitarian medicine this Sunday at @aahmhistmed.bsky.social. Historical perspectives are all the more relevant in this moment, which has highlighted the precarity of the global aid infrastructure.
Hi #AAHM2025, do consider attending this fascinating panel on humanitarian medicine. Especially at a time when international humanitarian aid is in peril, this topic is extremely important
