During the seminar, they exchanged knowledge and ideas about the collaboration of academic institutes and organizations that are related to Global Health in Asia to examine the evolving discourse around decolonization of global health, the role of educational institutions, and ways in which Asia can help 'decolonise' global health within and beyond the region.
Moreover, they should collaborate on education, research, exchanging students and instructors that focus on local learning through case studies in Asia countries and create the career path for students who graduate under Global Heath to enhance them to be the leaders of Global Health in sustainability.
