Dear Global Health Faculty and Students,
I wanted to write to encourage everyone’s attendance on March 16th for the WGHA Discovery Series Lecture with Vikram Patel.
Dr. Patel has worked in India and Mozambique, and has authored several significant publications on Global Mental Health, including the special Lancet series on Global Mental Health published in 2007.
We are so privileged to have such a pioneer in the field of global mental health speak for our series.
I do hope that many of you will be in town, and can attend this important presentation.
Warm Regards,
Deepa Rao
