berg in early 2011 after almost 20 years
in Asia. She is a public health physician
and tropical medicine specialist with
many years of working experience in low-
and middle-income countries. She was
the coordinator of global health teaching
at the National University of Singapore,
the director of Asia’s largest travel medi-
cine clinic in Singapore, and specialises
in clinical and epidemiological research
related to emerging infectious diseases.
Olaf Horstick is a specialist in public
health medicine with main interests in
public health in low- and middle-income
countries. Over his 20 years of experi-
ence in global health in many different
countries and different fields of public
health, his work has been predomi-
nantly in neglected tropical diseases.
In this context Olaf has been at WHO
for 6 years, working chiefly on dengue.
As of last year, Olaf works part-time for
GIZ, coordinating several health-related
cooperation projects between Brazil
and other Latin American countries. His
special interests include primary care
development, health sector reform,
programme management and control of
neglected communicable diseases.
