Why Is Franklin White Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Franklin Marshall Matthews White is a Canadian public health scientist focused on capacity building for international and global education, research and development. He advocates:"Public health...must not be left to the international community to define; it is...the responsibility of the countries themselves to define their priorities. The global agenda should be viewed as complementary at best." "Health is mostly made in homes, communities and workplaces and only a minority of ill health can be repaired in clinics and hospitals." "Nations assess their public health human resource needs and develop their ability to deliver this capacity, and not depend on other countries to supply it." “Public health and primary health care are the cornerstones of sustainable health systems, and this should be reflected in the health policies and professional education systems of all nations.”
