Coming up this week at Rochester Library, Dr Nils Daulaire will talk on “Pandemics in an America-First World”, discussing the global risks posed by disease outbreaks such as the current Ebola crisis in the eastern Congo in the context of the US withdrawal from many foreign aid activities and international organizations such as the World Health Organization. Nils, a long-time resident of South Royalton, served as the Obama administration’s lead global health diplomat as Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services and previously as the chief global health policy advisor at USAID.
Dr Daulaire is the first of a series of speakers on current global events scheduled to take place this summer at RPL. Please visit our website for more information.
