Dr. Madhukar Pai, Professor at the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health and past 不良研究所 Global Health Programs Director, authored a recent Forbes opinion piece.
"There is a lot that is wrong with how global health is designed, structured, taught, and practiced. If this was not clear before the pandemic, the ongoing Covid-19 (vaccine apartheid) offers abundant proof that global health, as a field, does not walk the talk on buzzwords such as global solidarity or social inequities.
