Meeting Overview

Many diseases are closely associated with poverty and topical locations. When social infrastructures falter—as in times of disaster, economic depression, or civil unrest—the burden of these diseases predictably escalates. This course updates participants with acute disease management skills, and IS OPEN TO ANYONE.
