Consulate of Sweden

Each spring, Seattle Biomedical Research Institute hosts a large-scale community event aimed at increasing public awareness of and support for global health, while raising funds for innovative infectious disease research. The Passport Celebration will feature a keynote address by doctor, researcher and global health data visionary Hans Rosling. During his visually dynamic presentations of world health statistics, Rosling will dramatically change the way you look at social and economic development and give you a new, better understanding of the so-called developing world. By exploring world trends with his Gapminder data bubble software, Rosling will demystify global health.

Watch Rosling's energetic TED presentation "The Seemingly Impossible is Possible" to get an idea of what you'll learn during the Passport to Global Health Celebration.
