About the speaker
David McCoy is Professor of Global Public Health at the Centre for Primary Care and Public Health at Queen Mary University London (QMUL).
A medical doctor by training, he spent six years as a clinician in the UK and South Africa, before entering a career in public health. He spent a further seven years in South Africa with the University of Cape Town and the Health Systems Trust, an NGO established to support the post-apartheid transformation of South Africa’s healthcare system.
Since returning to the UK, he has worked variously in the NGO sector, academia and the National Health Service (including a period as a director of public health in London).
He has a doctorate from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and is a trustee of the Centre for Health in the Public Interest.
Our voluntary writers work hard to keep these articles free for all to read. But we do need funds to support our struggle for Justice, Freedom and Solidarity. To maintain our editorial independence, we do not carry any advertisements; nor do we accept funding from dubious sources. If everyone reading this was to make a donation, our fundraising target for the year would be achieved within a week. So please consider making a donation to Persatuan Aliran Kesedaran Negara, CIMB Bank account number 8004240948.
