Stefan Swartling Peterson is a public health physician and professor of global transformation for health at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden and Makerere University, Uganda
A former Chief of Health for UNICEF he is interested in how systems (food-system, city planning, education, health etc) can be transformed to make individuals and populations healthy and integrated members of society. In Africa, how can the "youthquake" become a demographic dividend for Africa and the rest of the aging world? In Sweden and Europe, how can our aging individuals and populations extend their "health span", and not just their "life span" ? To lead healthy lives, but also to prevent health and social supprot systems from collapsing? And what is the role of migration to solve both of these continents' problems?
