Read a reflection on the talk by TGS student Megan K.
Professor of International Health, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden, Rosling discovered konzo, a new epidemic paralytic disease, when serving as doctor in Mozambique in 1979-81. Two decades of research in rural Africa traced the cause to toxic ill-processed cassava roots, hunger, and poverty. A co-founder of Médecins sans Frontier in Sweden, he has written textbooks on Global Health and initiated university collaborations with Asia and Africa.
