The book “Tore Godal and the Evolution of Global Health” is an interconnected history of the evolution of global health in the decades before 2019, told through the prism of six decisive moments in which individuals from the World Health Organization (WHO), philanthropic foundations, academia and bilateral agencies came together to shape the world.
“Global health is important to all of us. With this book, I wanted to bring awareness to Godal’s contribution and attract a new audience”, Keating explained.
The Norwegian immunologist Tore Godal is one of the most influential health physicians of all time. Godal’s career over the past 50 years offers a window into the profound events that have shaped the health and well-being of millions across the globe.
SUSTAINIT had the honor of hosting the book launch of the book in Oslo, in cooperation with the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad). An audience of about 100 people were able to hear Godal talk about his life and work.
The book is included in the Routledge Studies in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine. Read more about the book here (external page).
