Arrière plan

Kennesaw State University Assistant Professor of Nursing, Dr. Christie Emerson, invited CIFAL Atlanta Program Manager, Ms. Lola Owokoniran, to present for a second year to her International Health Policy class.  This course was designed to serve a variety of students who are interested in international or global health issues.  Students enrolled in this course gain a better understanding of the cultural, social, economic, political, environmental, demographic, biological, technological, and ethical issues which impact international health.  The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals support addressing these aspects to lead to improvements globally to our health and well-being, and Ms. Owokoniran’s was invited to share the framework and further explain the implications of the global goals.
