Beschreibungen/Notizen

• "In training a new generation of health scholars at Cayetano Heredia University, we want to strengthen the translation of research into health policies and practices, and enhance the contribution and participation of developing-country researchers to the global health agenda", she explains. Alongside furthering research into STDs in Peru with a public health graduate programme, Garcia wants to encourage budding Peruvian public health professionals to see their country as a place where they can thrive: "We need to build capacity and create a critical mass of trained people, offering them an enabling enviroment, so they can stay and help with the development of our country."
