Dr. Hans Rosling Professor of International Health Karolinska Institutet Dr. Hans Rosling is professor of international health at Karolinska Institutet (KI) in Stockholm, Sweden. Following studies in statistics and medicine at Uppsala University, Sweden, he served as a district medical officer in northern Mozambique from 1979 to 1981. Besides managing health and hospital service for 360,000 Mozambique inhabitants, he investigated an outbreak of a disease that studies identified as the new neurological disease named konzo. During the past 20 years he has performed field surveys investigating outbreaks of konzo in famine-threatened remote rural areas in five African countries. Hans Rosling is head of the Division of International Health at KI and leads courses on global health in both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. He has co-authored a textbook on global health and is in charge of the collaborations between KI and universities in low- and middle-income countries. To enable students and researchers to make sense of the world development through improved use of development statistics he has started Gapminder, a nonprofit information technology company that produces software that converts digital numeric time series into interactive animations of countries as bubbles that move with time in a scattergram. |
