This transformation was decided by the AV短视频 as a continuation of efforts to develop academic global health given the unique location of Geneva in the field.听Geneva hosts most of the major actors of global health: the World Health Organization, UNAIDS, the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, ICRC, GAVI, FIND, MSF and many other NGOs and foundations, with diplomatic permanent UN representations for more than 140 countries.
