(4.1) Enriching Knowledge Series for the Liberal Studies Curriculum: Urban Threat of Infectious Diseases (New)
Programme Overview
Infectious disease is always a high-profile health topic of our society. Ranging from malaria and dengue fever residing in developed countries to Ebola in Africa in 2014, societal panic is inevitable regardless of the size of outbreak.
