In 2014, we asked eleven persons with interest in Global Health to share their thoughts, concerns and priorities. They all were asked the same five questions:
1. What comes to your mind when you hear the words ‘Global Health’?
2. What are, in your view, the three most important topics in the field og Global Health?
3. What are, in your view, the three most important challenges?
4. Which Global Health topics would you prioritise if you were only allowed to give support to one?
5. Do you think that ‘Global Health’ exists in 10 years?
Their answers were quite different. View the videos and find out!
