FIND welcomes Global Health Fellows
On 20 June 2007, a delegation of fourteen
Global Health Fellows (GHF) from various academic institutions visited the FIND
offices to learn more about the work of the foundation through a special
presentation delivered by FIND’s Senior Policy & Implementation Officer, Dr.
Vinand Nantulya.
Dr. Vinand Nantulya addressing students in the GHF
program during their visit to FIND
Duke University’s Sanford Institute of Public
Policy, in partnership with the WHO’s
Globalization, Trade and Health Program,
organizes a series of site visits for its GHF and
selected WHO staff. For the Geneva course on
Health Policy in a Globalizing World, FIND was
invited to present the challenges and aims of
the foundation as a public-private partnership,
particularly its activities pertaining to the
development of new tuberculosis (TB) diagnostics
for developing countries.
Speaking on behalf of the students, Joy
Rankin, Senior Coordinator of the Duke
University Program on Global Policy and
Governance, Geneva, said she found the
visit to FIND was "insightful, interesting and
educational".
Dr. Anthony So, who is Director of the Terry
Sanford Institute’s Program on Global Health
and Technology Access and the Course
Director for the Global Health Fellows Program
said, "Hearing Dr. Nantulya draw so seamlessly
from his field and policy experience in presenting
the challenges that FIND is tackling was
particularly special for the students."
