I talk vaccines, child mortality and the relationship between deprivation and life expectancy, with Dr Osman (Oz) Mansoor who is a public health medicine (PHM) specialist with national and international policy experience in immunization, programme design and implementation, and communicable disease control.
He has had clinical experience across medical specialties before establishing a general practice in Wellington. He continued to work in his practice while national policy lead on immunization for the New Zealand Ministry of Health. He then worked internationally, as New Vaccines Officer for the World Health Organization at the regional office and then at UNICEF headquarters. Since his return to Aotearoa (NZ), he has worked in local public health units in Wellington, Napier and Gisborne. He is currently Medical Officer of Health in Gisborne, NZ.
I know there are a lot of calls on subscription dollars and that times are tough for a lot of people . But if you can afford $9 a month ( including GST) I would appreciate it if you would consider becoming a Paid Subscriber and help me give a voice to those who have none. All subscription money, by the way, goes to meet the costs of production.
And thank you again to my paid subscribers for your support. It is much appreciated.
