441 Words2 Pages

WHO is in a unique position to influence health behaviors globally by being an apolitical advocate for development of affordable health solutions and promotion of healthy lifestyle choices and public policies that can stem rise of disease. However, restructuring and prioritizing WHO efforts is unequivocally necessary and strongly recommended. WHO needs leadership that does not hide behind its mandate, but strains against its limits. This means setting a more ambitious agenda that takes a firm position on what action is required, and then challenging stakeholders to support it. Such proactive leadership would advocate more radical reforms that are necessary because WHO is so vital to global health. No other institution has the potential to combine

As the great Father Edward Sorin once said, “I came here as a young man and dreamed of building a great university in honor of Our Lady.

  • What Is Dr. Levett's Passion For Public Health?

    220 Words  | 1 Pages

    The second ECPD session was a presentation with Dr. Levett giving a background about his experience and how he came into the public health field. Dr. Levett has a wonderful passion in him for the public health. A statement he mentions that stayed with me was if you do not have the passion for public health it would not make you happy (this is not the exact statement). I believe Dr. Levett was stating, public health is not an easy career where one gets a job with a high salary, but it is a career where you learn to love what you do. One thing that was very memorable when Dr. Levett spoke was the origin of several public health and scientific terms originated from Greek terminology.
