Support us

In 2020 the world changed, as the COVID-19 pandemic swept across every continent.

The implications for health systems, the economy, and our society were profound. The scale of global inequalities was exposed. In some countries, the health systems have been decimated by the pandemic. Perhaps for the first time, we were reminded how vulnerable we all are.

Diseases do not respect geographical boundaries and a more connected world means we are all invested in better health outcomes for everyone. No matter what advances we make in science and medicine, the impact will be limited if we cannot address access and capacity issues.

To achieve global health security, we need to strengthen health systems and bridge health inequalities. A highly trained health workforce is critical to building resilience and address major challenges such as emerging infections, pandemics and resistance through global efforts.

Our 125 Anniversary Campaign aims to do this, by investing in brilliant people and partnerships to bridge the gap in health and scientific capacity around the world.

We want to take LSTM from a UK organisation which operates overseas to become a truly global organisation, with partnership at its heart, headquartered in Liverpool.

Why is your support important?

Support from donors enables us to push the boundaries of traditional research and statutory funding. They allow the freedom to develop solutions which will catalyse new knowledge and research funding, ultimately decreasing reliance on aid.

Donations enable us to invest in new, untested and perhaps unconventional ideas and the most promising students and scientists. These are the people who will lead the world in finding solutions to humanity biggest health challenges.

Donations allow the flexibility to work with new partners and support them in developing their own research infrastructure and competitiveness. This creates collaborations which are responsive to regional challenges, but which have the potential to benefit human health worldwide.

We invite you to join us in bridging health inequalities and securing healthy futures for all.

Bump It Forward expands

LSTM’s public fundraising campaign ‘Bump it Forward’, launched in January, which aims to protect healthcare workers in Africa against the COVID-19 pandemic, is calling for additional support to purchase urgently needed rapid diagnostic tests.

LSTM’s partners and colleagues overseas are again reporting shortages of supplies, including urgently needed rapid diagnostics tests which enable testing to determine rates of COVID-19 in staff and patients.

Your support can help save lives and control the spread of COVID-19.

125 Scholarships

LSTM is committed to providing a world-class education for the future generations of global health professionals around the world. Scholarships are critical to this mission, ensuring equity of access to our programmes and alleviating financial pressure which can be a major barrier in a decision to study. Each year, our scholarship programmes are heavily oversubscribed.

As part of our 125 Anniversary Campaign, we are raising funds to support an additional 125 new scholarships to increase our capacity to support talented students studying on campus in Liverpool and around the world. These include full and partial scholarships to ensure that the most promising global health leaders can study at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, irrespective of their circumstances.
