!POSTPONED! Conference: African Contributions to Global Health
On 19 March 2020, researchers and public health experts meet for the public launch of the SNF-funded Sinergia project 'African Contributions to Global Health'. African Contributions to Global Health is an interdisciplinary research project which investigates knowledge, practices and applications related to the improvement of health and healthcare which have been developed or designed in Africa, and have become - or have the potential to become - relevant to questions of health globally. This collaborative project between the University of Basel, Swiss Institute for Tropical and Public Health, and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) brings together experts in African history, public health and urban planning working with African partners in Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and Côte d'Ivoire. The conference introduces the various research foci of the project, and features a round table discussion on the theme by project partners based in Africa.
The keynote address will be delivered by Dr Mwelecele Malecela, Director of the Department of Control of Neglected Tropical Diseases at the WHO. There will also be a screening of the documentary 'Mefloquine' and discussion with the film maker.
Conference postponed to an as yet unspecified date!
