Global Health and Natural Disasters

Global Health and Disaster Response

Brought to you by the Global Health Practicum

 

Please join us for an in-depth talk on the role of global health care following a natural disaster.

 

Alex Cottin, former director of Merlin-USA (British global health non-profit organization), will describe his experience of working in Haiti during the 2010 earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and the primary issues regarding international healthcare. We will discuss the role of global health in acute, emergency situations in relation to longer-term development goals and the successes and failures of health care in developing countries. A brief and broad overview of global health will be given to provide a foundation on which to build.
