近日,世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞·阿达诺姆博士(Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus) 被授予英国诺丁汉大学医学院流行病学和公共卫生系名誉教授称号。
今年5月起,谭德塞博士将在英国诺丁汉大学(以下简称“英诺”)教授全球公共卫生硕士课程,并分享他在应对全球疫情方面的经验。
他还将与英诺杰出的教师团队一起共事(包括英国副首席医学官Jonathan Van-Tam教授、英国疫苗接种和免疫联合委员会主席Wei Shen Lim等),并组织年度讲座、和世界知名的专家学者一起讨论未来的健康和繁荣课题。在诺丁汉大学大家庭的研究人员还将有机会与谭德塞博士合作,为世卫组织的未来研究和创新发展做出贡献。
谭德塞博士是全球公认的健康学者、研究人员和外交官。
1992年,谭德塞博士在伦敦的一所医学院学习,并获得了传染病免疫学硕士学位。随后,他前往英国诺丁汉大学继续学习,研究水坝对埃塞俄比亚提格里州 (Tigray Region) 疟疾传播的影响,并在2000年获得了社区健康博士学位。
在加入世卫组织之前,他还曾担任过许多重要的国家和全球公共卫生职务,包括埃塞俄比亚卫生部长和外交部长,以及全球防治艾滋病、结核和疟疾基金会主席。
2017年5月,在第七十届世界卫生大会上,谭德塞博士被世卫组织会员国选举为世卫组织总干事。他是世界卫生大会从多名候选人中选出的首位世卫组织总干事,也是世卫组织近70年来首位来自非洲的总干事。
到目前为止,我在诺丁汉的时光是我人生旅程中非常重要的一部分。我很自豪诺丁汉大学一直在一些最重要和最前沿的健康研究领域发挥领导作用,如抗菌素耐药性、癌症、再生医学和大脑健康等。
作为校友,我对诺丁汉大学的专业性和通过世界一流的公共卫生培训来保护和促进全世界人民健康的奉献精神深表赞赏。我期待能与未来的卫生专业人员紧密合作,并为这一极其宝贵的工作做出贡献。
WHO Director-General appointed Honorary Professor at the University of Nottingham
The Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has been appointed Honorary Professor within the Division of Epidemiology and Public Health, in the School of Medicine at the University of Nottingham.
The appointment is part of the University’s celebrations marking the dual 50th and 30th anniversaries of its world-leading Schools of Medicine and Nursing.
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus already has strong links with the University as an Alumnus, and received a PhD in Public Health Medicine in 2000. He also received an Honorary Degree from the University in 2019, recognising his outstanding contribution to world health care.
He will be joining an outstanding faculty, including Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, the UK’s Deputy Chief Medical Officer and Honorary Professor Wei Shen Lim, the Chair of the UK’s Joint Commission on Vaccinations and Immunisations; and many more who have distinguished themselves in helping the world, UK and Nottingham tackle the Covid-19 pandemic.
Over his tenure as Honorary Professor, Dr Tedros will spend time teaching the University’s world-renowned Global Public Health Masters programme. He will be delivering a masterclass to students on his experiences of tackling the pandemic and what it means for the future of global public health during May. As part of the Universities for Nottingham [EY1] collaboration, students from Nottingham Trent University’s public health course will also be invited to attend.
“I am honoured to support the University of Nottingham’s work to educate and prepare public health specialists of the future. As an Alumnus of the University, I have a deep appreciation of its expertise and dedication to protecting and promoting the health of people worldwide through world class public health training. I look forward to contributing to this extremely valuable effort and engaging closely with tomorrow’s health professionals,”said Dr Tedros.
In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Dr Tedros will convene an annual lecture, which will see him lead a discussion with a world-leader on a topic related to the future of global health and prosperity. The University’s researchers will also have the opportunity to work with Dr Tedros to explore how they can help contribute to areas of future research and innovation in support of WHO. When international travel is permitted, Dr Tedros is expected to visit the University and Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust to learn more about their ambitious Tomorrow’s NUH plans for redevelopment and innovation.
In addition to his teaching commitments, Dr Tedros will begin his tenure at the University this summer by taking part in a public “in conversation” event with Professor Jonathan Van-Tam and University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Shearer West, reprising an event that took place in July 2019, before the pandemic turned the world upside-down.
Dr Tedros has had a distinguished career in global public health spanning more than 30 years. He is the first WHO Director General to have been elected by the World Health Assembly and the first person from the Africa Region to serve as WHO’s chief officer. After taking office in 2017, Dr Tedros outlined key priorities to transform WHO including universal health coverage, health emergencies, and health impacts of climate and environmental change.
Globally recognised as a health scholar, researcher and diplomat, Dr Tedros held a number of important national and global public health positions prior to his role at WHO including Ethiopia’s Minister of Health, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Chair of the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
He is currently leading the WHO through the global Covid-19 pandemic.
Professor John Atherton, Pro-Vice Chancellor for the Faculty of Medicine at the University said: “Dr Tedros has a truly impressive career in public health to date. He is renowned globally for his leadership and contribution to medicine through several important national and global public health positions, and now the tremendous leadership he is showing throughout the Covid-19 pandemic; this is an inspiration to all of us. We are immensely proud to appoint him as an Honorary Professor at the University, and we look forward to the skills and experience he can bring to the role.”
Chief executive of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Tracy Taylor, said: “It will be a huge honour to welcome Dr Tedros back to Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, and to share with him our plans for the future of our hospitals. Through Tomorrow’s NUH, we are redesigning our services and clinical environments so that we can respond effectively to the changing health needs of our local population and address health inequalities. Research, innovation and increasing educational opportunities are central to our plans, and we are delighted to have the opportunity to explore this further with Dr Tedros in his new role as Honorary Professor at the School of Medicine.”
