Rose Mcgready

Rosie has worked for >25 years in a resource constrained setting on the Thailand-Myanmar border contributing to optimizing treatment of malaria and health care in pregnancy and child birth and early childhood. These improvements do not happen by research alone but by investment in care. SMRU emphasizes quality care in remote settings. Local health care providers are amazing when they are provided with the right opportunities for learning. Rosie remains adamant that credit belongs to the incredible example set by Karen and Burmese health workers and community workers who have lifted their community forwards despite barriers and constraints. Research within the same context as delivery of humanitarian health care has permitted a strong environment for reflection of problems concerning the population as well as an avenue to finding solutions. Rose is indebted to her family, colleagues, and mentors.
