Venue: Brunei Suite, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London, WC1H 0XG

 

Time: 6pm

 

Speaker: Lord Nigel Crisp

 

Details: Richer countries import many health workers from poorer countries, whilst at the same time exporting their ideas and ideologies about health. It is an unfair exchange. What would it be like, Nigel Crisp asks, if it were the other way round and poorer countries imported health workers from richer ones and exported their ideas and experience about health?

Turning the World Upside Down explores what richer countries can learn from poorer ones and suggests that, instead of talking of interntional development (where the richer help the poorer) we should think in terms of co-development, each learning from the other. By bringing together insights from all parts of the world, the book sets out a new vision for global health, based on our interdependence, our desire for independence and on our rights and accountabilities as citizens of the world.
