Is Global Health an Issue to You?

Posted in New Material by lhollemans on Oct 2, 2007

If it is, then you may be interested in watching Rx for Survival: A Global Health Challenge

Rx for Survival examines the most critical health threats facing the world today by portraying conditions in over twenty countries, examining why diseases that are curable still persist, the efforts to treat them, and the dangers of new “superbugs.”

There are two different ways that you can watch Rx for Survival.  You can borrow it from the Welland Campus Library for a period of 24 hours or you can watch it on TVO tonight at 10:00 p.m.  TVO will be airing part 1 of 6 tonight – Disease Warriors.

For further information on global health, check out the book Rx for Survival: Why We Must Rise to the Global Health Challenge by Philip J. Hilts, available at the Welland Campus Library.  The Welland Campus Library also has the following videos that you can borrow:

The Threat of Pandemic Influenze: Are We Ready?

SARS: A Body and Health Special Report

Our Planet, Our Health

West Nile: A Body and Health Special Report

HIV/AIDS: Fighting a Global Epidemic

Not a Welland Campus student?  You can still borrow these items.  Niagara College students can borrow materials from both Campus Libraries, as well as request to have materials sent from one Campus to the other for pick-up.
