FMDS holds RTD on International Health

 

 

The Faculty of Management and Development Studies (FMDS) has conducted a round table discussion (RTD) on International Health. This was held on 11 June 2009 at the UPOU Learning Center in Diliman, Quezon City.

Dr. Dinah P. Nadera, an Associate Professor and the resident Psychiatrist of UPOU, said that the RTD was conducted to aid in the development of a graduate degree program in International Health. A discipline that is “important in addressing the scope and dimension of disaster, emergencies, and emerging diseases that are increasing dramatically across Asia and other parts of the world.”

The participants of the RTD are health practitioners and academicians from Christoffel Blindenmission South East Asia-Pacific Regional Office; College of Medicine, UP Manila; College of Nursing, UP Manila; College of Public Health, UP Manila; Department of Health; Philippine Nurses Association; Philippine Health Insurance Corporation; University of Melbourne; and the UP Open University. They shared experiences on international health; identified possible linkages in the offering of the program; and identified priority courses that need to be developed. (Luisa A. Gelisan, OC).
