Learning does not only happen in the classroom and within the walls of Karolinska Institutet. Our PhD student Olivia Biermann spent the past three weeks at the Knowledge to Policy (K2P) Center, Faculty of Health Sciences, American University of Beirut in Lebanon.
With a keen interest in evidence-informed health policy-making, and her PhD research focusing on the development and implementation of policies for community-based tuberculosis screening, her time at the K2P Center was very interesting, instructive and inspiring.The K2P Center is a World Health Organization Collaborating Center on evidence-informed policy and practice. It is a leader in the field of knowledge translation, working closely with the Ministry of Public Health and other key stakeholders in Lebanon, the Eastern Mediterranean Region and internationally.
K2P Center is also co-hosting the Sixth Global Symposium on Health Systems Research in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in 2020
