Research portal on origins of global health inequality launched

A new research portal on the origins of global health inequality, Long-Run Health Matters, has been launched. This project provides an open-access meeting point in which leading experts summarize their latest work to those interested in the topic, in an accessible way. Ultimately, this material is intended to foster an informed dialogue about pressing health issues with an impact on both historical and current societal challenges. You are invited to visit this portal website at www.lrhmatters.com and read articles tackling a set of diverse topics such as colonialism and mortality, the modernization of health in the Netherlands or the consequences of industrialization. To remain updated about future posts you can subscribe to the LRHM Newsletter. If you are interested in contributing to the project you can send an email to Daniel Gallardo.
