Story of Diseases: Learning from the past for today’s Global Health

October 8, 2019/in Announcements /by Eloe Kingma
On the 22nd of October The New Utrecht School, in collaboration with University College Utrecht, Julius Global Health and Health Management Support Team, organizes a public lecture with the title Story of Diseases: Learning from the past for today’s Global Health.

To answer questions on how we should continue with global health in the future, we take a look at the past to reflect on the global history of disease. What issues have we overcome? How have they helped shape the global health architecture of today?

Sabine Uijl, Director of Education at the University College Utrecht, and James Kennedy, Dean of the University college Utrecht will open the first night in this series. Join our internationally renowned speakers in the debate on global health and its challenges.
