Dr. Matt Kavanagh will present: "Global Public Health Leadership - Past, Present, and Future"

Dr. Kavanagh will give several examples of governments whose public health policies point the way to a healthier future, and also discuss issues of policy coordination and information sharing which may impact future development.
