Dr. Solomon Benatar, emeritus professor of medicine at the University of Cape Town, will present Bioethics and Health in a Globalized World on Thursday, April 20, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. in the Africa Room of the Union.
Benatar’s academic research has included respiratory medicine, health services, human rights, academic boycott, medical ethics and global health on which he has published over 250 peer-reviewed journal articles.
