AstraZeneca Young Health Programme Impact Fellowship | 2024 | Fully Funded

AstraZeneca’s Young Health Programme (YHP) Impact Fellowship is designed to empower young people to build their skills, network, knowledge and inspire them to scale their impact and create even more positive change.

Each year, the YHP selects young people who aim to improve equitable health outcomes for all by:   

• Improve equitable access to healthcare

• Strengthen health systems

• Address climate-health issues

• Develop the next generation of health leaders and advocates

These inspiring young leaders will attend the One Young World Summit 2024 in Montréal, Canada. They  believe that access to networks and development will lead to a global health movement led by and for young people:

• Access to Networks: Participation in the 2024 One Young World Summit and Ambassador Network and access to an Alumni group of other young changemakers who are all passionate about youth health.

• Access to Development: Structured learning and development offerings to enable you to scale your impact, including both self-directed and live learning. This includes access to the One Young World Academy, an award-winning MBA programme, and professional training.
