GHI Workshop: Does Aid Work?, Dr. Michael Seear, February 5, 2014

Dr. Seear will be addressing one of the biggest questions facing aid at any level – does all that work achieve any measurable benefit? The discussion will include issues such as sustainability and outcome measurement.

Dr. Michael Seear first studied medicine at University of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). He was subsequently a district health officer at a remote rural hospital. In 1982 he moved to Canada and took postgraduate training in Pediatrics at Vancouver and then further fellowship training in Toronto in respirology and intensive care.
