Global Health Inequities & Infectious Diseases Workshop

Description

Highly infectious diseases reflect global inequities worldwide, making up five of the top ten leading causes of death in low-income countries while constituting only one of the top ten causes of death in high-income countries. This workshop hosted by the Pittsburgh University School of Law in conjunction with Pitt Public Health’s Center for Global Health will bring together a multidisciplinary group of scholars at the University of Pittsburgh and beyond to examine global health inequities in the distribution of infectious diseases.
