UN will award annual public health fellowships in $5 million programme
24 August 2004 – The United Nations health agency today announced plans to train as many as 10 young people each year dedicated to improving public health, including upgrading responses to epidemics and other widespread health emergencies, especially in developing countries.
The World Health Organization (WHO), with a special $5 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, today said it will train people younger than 38 years who already hold an advanced public health-related degree. At least half will be women and 80 per cent from developing countries.
