The life and contribution of Professor David Sanders through his publications (2)

11 February, 2020

Thanks to Tony Waterston for bringing David Saunders through his contributions in the critical understanding of health. For those of us who had the opportunity to meet him, David conveyed a skeptical and constructive perspective on health, particularly that of children. David's vision transcended the borders of Africa and crossed realities in different latitudes of the world. As Tony says, we have his legacy on the global

health of children and public health in relation to poverty as a structural determinant of health.
