Threats to Us from Global Infectious Diseases: Think Globally, Act
Locally
Richard Guerrant, Professor of Internal Medicine
What would be the single most important advancement of the new
century?” asked a 1999 ABC news survey of the country’s top public
health officials. Curing cancer? Ending AIDS? Dr. Richard Guerrant
will offer a surprising answer to this question as well as discuss
the coming threats to our global health. Arguing that health should
serve as the basis for foreign policy, Dr. Guerrant will examine the
true costs of poverty and show how our existence mutually depends on
solving the problem of disease.
