*About*
Several million people have left Ukraine since Russia's military invasion
began. “The consequences of war, trauma, and devastation must be tackled
swiftly. The resultant mid-term and long-term needs must propel all
sectors, including health, into rapid action.”
(Reference: The Lancet)

Spiegel will speak in a live interview to discuss the unique aspects of

responding to humanitarian emergencies, and more recently broader issues of
migration.

Before becoming Center for Humanitarian Health Director, Prof. Spiegel was
the deputy director of the Division of Program Management and Support
Services for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Prior to
joining the UN in 2002, Prof. Spiegelworked as a medical epidemiologist in
the International Emergency and Refugee Health Branch at the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.

He also worked as a medical coordinator with Médecins Sans Frontières and
Médecins du Monde in refugee emergencies, as well as a consultant for
numerous organizations.
