Dr Mary Ditton

Speaker

Senior Lecturer/Course Coordinator for Health Services Management , Faculty of The Professions, School of Health, University of New England, Australia "I have travelled to Thailand seven of eight times over the last few years with various research projects into primary health care in the rural areas, developing teaching curricula for the rural health workforce, and studying the plight of the migrants from Burma in Thailand. The later project area will probably occupy me for a long time, as poverty and migration are very significant international public health issues. I have colleagues in Churlalongkorn University and Assumption University in Bangkok and good rapport with Non-Government Organisations that offer good advice with this research." from: http://www.une.edu.au/staff/mditton3.php
