Inequalities and Meningitis Maisie Green
Event details
Meningitis (ME) is a serious infection of the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Maisie Green of the York Health Economics Consortium (YHEC) explains how research indicates that treatments for ME should target socioeconomically deprived areas.
Learn about Maisie's research into inequalities associated with meningitis, conducted with colleague Rachel Naylor, and how they found the number of cases of ME, mortalities and days in hospital are increased in deprived areas.
