International health perspectives during the past century

Abstract

Dr Supachai Kunaratnpruk, Executive Dean of the Medical College and Health Sciences Division, Distinguished Faculty Members, Successful graduates of the Diploma Program in International Health, Students of Rangsit University, Honorable guests; Ladies and Gentlemen:

First of all, I would like to congratulate graduates of the Diploma Program in International Health for their successful completion of the course. I sincerely congratulate Rangsit University for developing and running this important and timely program.

This is in view of the current global health challenges that demand effective international cooperation and collaboration in health. It is in view of “the complexity” of such challenges, as well as of such cooperation and collaboration that we are facing today.

I thank the University for inviting me to talk about “International Health Perspectives during the Past Century”, which, in my view, should be very relevant to the purpose of this seminar.
