I don't know how many health practitioners or health professionals we have in the public great so you recognize the sports so I am in this diagram so what I do as a public health a petition that is why we social determinants of health and we know that health is a resource for everyday living and on the spot so if you're if you're ill it does not
necessarily mean that you're you're sick how about you do not have helped so within the social determinants of health you can address different levels of the individual levels a hundred level when you need to level or even at the border level so we look at the gender or social economic cultural dominance of now what is it that makes us healthy what gives us health and wellbeing
and we creates environments for that environment that is conducive at dot so but why is it is not important and your daily I'm going to talk about this as well too environments will help and why and how we would be supportive environments will help but most importantly white is it Morton's as I can to Sweden some twenty two years ago are there any grants and coming
in Sweden as a young person I really faced a lot of challenges it was once you come in and your labels involved about an hour or on immigrants then you you in essence yes she all everything that you watch before you become nameless seriousness as in essence of it I'm able and that one on one and that was really hard work with it was I like
him Rome was I was quite okay anything anywhere in in in in my family and coming to a new country with new language you culture knew whom you everything was so new and nobody seen you really to learn which gets a lot while I was so in many ways I give our I give up when my up my teacher told me that I could not speak
our language and English language teacher that I should look where else other titles by and jobs I could yeah you know what you're or I could help he's not was a job that every inbound the attic it I give up when I stopped at the university in learn as the only and the press up Muslim email students wearing her job and I was told as into
the third semester that actually I should think about dropping out because my job was breaching the hygiene rules and of course that was not an argument that was really the thing I argued against the then I was told you know how insurance does not cover and if you get stronghold by Asians I thought that was yeah it's okay I will not hold against you and the
most interesting one when they saw that I was not giving up they told me you would scare the kids and the all the elderly people who have never seen a pass and in you know I had stuff and I thought I'm a black woman that you guys getting off with %HESITATION without her now so I give up many many times I give up when they look
at my mother you know this woman that I or was held as a role model who has I published a business a multi million business for coming to Sweden who has raised me single handedly in a healthy country and has raised many other keys but nobody was interested in what she hot grits penises nobody was interested in her life story she was just on immigrants and
I need a check mark were and most recently I give up when my daughter in this rut campus school then the states it was how long would teacher told her that at you what you eat you at all you want to talk to me that's what is your exam because you believe that you will not wear yeah you see that she was actually born and raised
in New Jack never lived anywhere else so I give up soon many grains but I goats are my frustration anger an all star stronger than %HESITATION I know it's only became a teacher I actually got an opportunity look each do I become a lecturer I wanted to go about it without paper to my teacher but I don't know where to find her and so I I
just close or I just lost the dirt good though the opportunity all expedition but people are hard on me and I did not do that on my own I did not thanks to the people around me who provided us with provided me with up opportunities well give me a yeah I'm environments that I write it was my English number yeah my Swedish long teacher at Monroe
la who also money grounds who helped me not to get the education system sooner it was the ness my my my mother's hospital who you can support myself learn the language so my line was so she would really hit my mother so they were institutions or who knowingly or unknowingly actually yes it what about vitamins around me so that I would be who I am today
so what is something that I took with me my professional one and my personal walk as well when I got the opportunity to do %HESITATION my PhD I decided I'm going to do something that you do white supportive environments Orton nontraditional researches so I'm I'm glad Graham the previous speakers spoke about %HESITATION icy and technology I involves the elderly people depression as high school students in
creating IT systems or primary healthcare I have walked in different projects a either looking into challenges or people with different backgrounds as each of the health and social systems and one of them is this money permission and business center where we provide as services in different languages acting and so longship and health and social I remission and even seminar as an inspiration our souls or whether
you right now I was in Somalia and the whole and one during my early days all who would use them presidents and Fridays I tease this is my muscles plus as well it is university there are only eight students and one of the things that I discovered you know these adults is that I'm montages yeah another season and dentists but when they can't just do it
cost they are just students nobody asked them nobody looks it yeah nobody talks to them and find out what is it that you really loyal so I have introduced I'm interrupting a learning asanas when I see but and the actually resent their work and we went and we discussed that and this is the lettuce and a Nordic that I'm walking with and it's the national it's
the national military coordination center is Somalia Mogadishu as you know Somalia right now is the is experiencing worst droughts in in centuries they're about six point two million people who I need a shelter Seward and medication there's a widespread all diseases such as cholera and measles so what has happened yeah and this is something that comes back it was the sign is that the Somali community
while I am especially the you all over the world and not only in Somalia have mobilized the mobilized to provide funds that mobilized to volunteer and they're out in the fields but the thing is there are so many different a is we have the international community is that I agree I agree job but when they agree out somewhere they do this announces and put in those
at risk analysis then it bit me kind of well hold back because they don venture into areas that are deemed dangerous but those areas would knees young kids although you are areas where the arms and ankles our grandfathers and grandmothers need so we have had a group such as I we will not and those two boys you see that I actually think so and the help
of course sent them it doesn't look much compared to you at all John as Essensa but they get in holds local calls from the ground and the mom needs we axes on the ground so the responses more appropriate so the ministry no the minister for humanitarian affairs and disaster management we've had to negotiate and tell them okay we need support right these %HESITATION we are we
need the room where they can actually sit down and work well we can support them so that big Bertha supports whatever at and on the ground in in in the different countries and the different parties sites so so this it down there everyday it is very cool we use you don't have resources but the action you right and they've been able to help thousands and thousands
of people and not is another we all of review supportive environment for people to do what they do best so inclusion what is it that I do I create order environments people what processes what we see and I look at what is it that you Thomas how what is it Thomas Welby and how can we support our and I want to leave you with a challenge
each and everyone of us sitting there as a professional or nonprofessional as individuals you can be moths and you can be it can hurt you supportive environments if nothing else Hardwicke words what didn't vitamix for people right or people to be healthy you can mediates and make sure that we don't really review you get out of the ignition or ordinis other actions or you can enable
