Global health

Authors: Grant Fellows

Introduction

Humans on Earth face many health challenges. However, some of the most wide-spread sources of suffering and death are easily prevented or treated. Many cost-effective charities focus on delivering these interventions.

How engineers can help

Many organizations such as Engineers Without Borders are focused applying engineering talent to build and improve local infastructure.

Engineers can also help resolve logistical issues serving as bottlenecks to the delivery of effective health interventions such as insecticide-treated bednets.
