<\/a>Iris Borowy, Distinguished Professor at Shanghai University.<\/p><\/div>\n
Iris<\/span>\u00a0Borowy, is a Distinguished Professor at the\u00a0Center for the History of Global Development<\/a>\u00a0at Shanghai University.<\/p>\n She has written several books and articles on global health and international health institutions. She is the author of the article “East German medical aid to Nicaragua<\/a>,”\u00a0on\u00a0 health\u00a0\u00a0cooperation during the Cold War (vol.24\u00a0no.2 Apr.\/Jun.\u00a02017).\u00a0See what she said about HCS-Manguinhos:<\/p>\n “I first found out about Hist\u00f3ria, Ci\u00eancias, Sa\u00fade\u2013 Manguinhos over ten years ago during my work on the League of Nations Health Organisation. I was urgently looking for information on working relations between that institution and countries beyond Europe and North America.<\/p>\n The sources told me that there was ample contact but it was difficult to find secondary literature on the topic, and Hist\u00f3ria, Ci\u00eancias, Sa\u00fade\u2013 Manguinhos offered a source of extremely valuable information. I was very thankful to find a publication outlet that combined a non-Northern focus with academic rigor and a broad, non-ideological approach.<\/p>\n These qualities have consistently marked its publications, and I have used it for a broad range of topics in research as well as in teaching. During my stay at the Casa Oswaldo Cruz I had the opportunity to meet several people behind the journal and to see their good work. Marcos Cueto has, of course, long been an appreciated colleague and friend, and I am happy whenever our paths cross.<\/p>\n Journals such as Hist\u00f3ria, Ci\u00eancias, Sa\u00fade\u2013 Manguinhos do a great service to global academia because they establish excellent academic work as a normal part of the Global South, and the Global South as a normal part of excellent academic work.”<\/p>\n
