Seventh Wu Lien-Teh annual lecture

I am posting this message on behalf of Anwar Fazal who is the President of The Dr Wu Lien-Teh Society in Penang which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. The message concerns the society's seventh annual public lecture in commemoration of Dr Wu Lien-Teh's 144th birthday.

The recipient of this year's Dr Wu Lien-Teh Award for Leadership in Public Health, Prof Dr Jemilah Mahmood of Sunway University, will give her lecture on “Planetary Health or Accelerate Our Extinction - We have a choice”.

2.30pm - 4.30pm
Venue:
Penang Institute, 10 Jalan Brown, 10350 George Town, Penang
Admission: Free

It is to be noted that last year's recipient was the Director-General of Health, Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah. Regarding Prof Dr Jemilah Mahmood, some people may recognise her name as the founder of Mercy Malaysia which lends a helping hand with humanitarian medical relief wherever disasters occur around the world. She's truly a well-respected figure.
