********************************************************************************************************

I invited Dr. Osamu Kunii, CEO at Global Health Innovative Technology (GHIT) Fund, which contributes to solving infectious disease

issues in developing countries by providing incentives for the development of drugs, vaccines and diagnostics. Prior to his appointment

as CEO of the GHIT Fund, Dr. Osamu Kunii had been a strategy director of “Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria

” for 10 years and with UNICEF for 7 years, contributing to health and welfare in developing countries. Dr. Kunii has worked for public

health, maternal and child health, infectious disease control and disaster medical care during his carrier.

 

We had had the special opportunities to learn the various careers through WISE/LP seminars, but until then we had never had the

chance to learn the role of funds in action on global health. I would like him to share with our graduate students how funds had achieved

the control of infectious diseases, and his mindset for contribution to global health that he has developed in his more than 30 years of work.

 

Dr. Kunii gave us the educational lecture with pictures he took in his activities in developing countries, and motivative messages to

younger generation. Many students asked questions to him, and he was available for discussion until just before his departure time.

I sincerely appreciate for his all effort for us. I’ also grateful to Isoda-sensei, and WISE staff members for giving us the valuable opportunity.

 

 

國井先生、星加さん、ありがとうございました！
