Description
The majority of us use technology everyday in our day to day lives, yet the impact of technology on our health and human rights is often overlooked. Whilst technology has propelled advances in both the global health and human rights sector, bringing new innovations and improving the lives of many, the two sectors remain largely separate. As fields such as digital health continue to rise and technology begins to play an increasing role in our everyday lives, it is essential that those working within technology understand how technology, global health and human rights interact to impact populations globally.
Our aim is to help those working with technology to not only understand what global health and human rights are, but how they can work towards ensuring that the world we live in is one where all individuals have access to healthcare and can live freely.
About Kadye Global
We believe that Global Health & Human Rights should be at the forefront of technological advances. Our goal is to ensure that all those entering and working within the technological industry are aware of the importance of understanding and ensuring Human rights and Global Health are at the forefront as technology advances. By working collaboratively with businesses and educating incoming graduates on the importance of global health and human rights we believe we can produce a future in which technology benefits every individual and community around the globe, ensuring an inclusive future.
