IHP Spain Alumni Lecture|Dr. David Manuel Ferrandiz Mont

2026-01-05

Today’s IHP Spain Alumni Lecture with Dr. David Manuel Ferrandiz Mont gave a fresh perspective. Hearing from a 2020 Spain alum now shaping public health in Catalonia was inspiring. We received a practical tour of the program, epidemiology, and real-time surveillance, along with a thoughtful comparison between Spain’s decentralized system and Taiwan’s centralized model. Public health is about people and teamwork: soft skills, curiosity, and adaptability matter just as much as data. Huge thanks to Dr. David Manuel Ferrandiz Mont, welcome back to IHP! 🎓🤝🌟
