event: They include Sabu Kochupurackal Ulahannan, who is researching nutrition and inequality among children in remote tribal communities in Kerala, south-west India, according to The Guardian. He was one of 291 delegates awarded a scholarship to attend the event, in an initiative partly funded by the UK government aimed at low- and middle-income countries. The organisers of the Global Symposium on Health Systems Research in Liverpool, which runs until Friday, are compiling a dossier of immigration problems that are understood to have affected at least 10 of the event's 2,000 registered delegates. But Kochupurackal Ulahannan, who is studying for a doctorate at Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology in Thiruvananthapuram, the state capital of Kerala, was denied a visa by UK immigration officials. The refusal came after he was was asked to pay 16,000 rupees 168 equivalent to half his monthly salary, for the visa application. He was told he had an insufficient balance on his bank account.
