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