The annual Faculty of Health Sciences’ AJ Orenstein Memorial Lecture will be delivered by Dr Emmanuel Makasa.
Makasa is Counsellor: Health in the Permanent Mission of the Republic Zambia to the United Nations in Geneva and Vienna, and in the Embassy of the Republic of Zambia to Switzerland.
He is an orthopaedic and trauma surgeon turned global health diplomat.
His address will advance the argument that investing in surgery and anaesthesia is a means to achieving universal health coverage and consequently contributing to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).
Makasa will share his experiences in strengthening the Zambian health system to address these issues. He will also share the role he played in the World Health Organization’s resolution WHA68.15. This lecture is hosted by the Adler Museum.
