A Dozen from Okwo

Jean-Marie Okwo-Bele has retired from W.H.O. this year after a long career with the UN and, before that, the government of Zaïre (now DRC). His publications reflect the broad scope of his interests, from the smallpox to EPI transition (item 11), to social and economic determinants of vaccination (items 1 and 2) to Ebola (item 7), among others.

 

Good reading.
