Diaspora communities take on global health
Improving global health is the focus of the next in a series of dialogues bringing together the general public and diaspora community leaders. Academics, students, policy makers, health researchers and practitioners, and others concerned about global health and the role these communities can play will join in the dialogue on March 16, 6:30-9:30 p.m. at SFU Vancouver’s Wosk Centre for Dialogue.
They’ll examine how diaspora are working to improve global health and how Vancouver based initiatives are transforming health practices, systems and institutions with their global reach. SFU is leading a two-year public dialogue series as a way to tap into the potential for global change.
