It would be impossible to tell you how my life has been changed by my Public Health Specialist Training. If you wish things were better and don’t know why they are not, if you think good health should be an aim for all, and if you are curious about the causes of things.. do it.

I have accepted that advice, and am pleased to declare that mpox is no longer a global health emergency.
