UNICEF at Carolina is hosting our second event in our Speaker Series this semester. The speaker will be Dr. Ashley Ward, lecturer in the Department of Geography. Dr. Ward’s focus is on poverty, community development, and public health.

She will be discussing some of the most challenging issues facing public health workers due to barriers to access and information. The talk will center on the use of mHealth, as a way to use mobile technology to bridge gaps in information and care, and the potential challenges, focusing on applications specific to children’s health needs.
