The World Health Organization notes about one out of every four people on the planet live in areas affected by conflict, violence and insecurity.
These settings are disproportionately responsible for more than 70% of epidemic-prone disease cases, 60% of preventable maternal deaths, and over half of all deaths in children under 5.
Join us for an hour-long free webinar to explore the historical foundations of global health engagement and examine the limitations and unintended consequences of some traditional approaches.
