Global health Research Group
Global Health Research Group
What does Global Health, its causes, risk factors, spread of diseases and consequences mean? How can we - an interdisciplinary research group at NTNU in Norway - contribute to a better understanding of the global world we are living in? . Initiated in September 2018, this research group brings together researchers and teachers interested in global health and development.
