We were very pleased to welcome Gareth Presch to St. Anna CCRI recently. Gareth is founder and CEO of the World Health Innovation Summit ([ Ссылка ]) and health care strategist with long lasting experience working in public, private and voluntary healthcare settings.
A very stimulating tour of our institute by our leading expert on solid tumors, Heinrich Kovar, was followed by an open discussion on possible points of collaboration.
Besides other responsibilities – Gareth´s visit to St. Anna CCRI was mainly on behalf of United Nations Global Sustainability Index Institute as their SDG3 Health expert on SDG-Cities ([ Ссылка ] [ Ссылка ] ): SDG stands for sustainable development goals and this platform helps cities in low and middle income countries develop and improve quality of life.
“On the UN SDGs - SDG3 Good Health & Wellbeing - children's cancer is one of our focus areas and we would be interested in exploring opportunities to work with St. Anna CCRI and collaborate with some of the Cities - (e.g. Kinshasa, Brasov, Sikkim),” explained Gareth.
Günter Koch, President @ Humboldt Cosmos Multiversity & GRASPnetwork & ExC-Board Member of World Capital Institute, who took on the role of Austrian host, added: “Gareth has advised and been a member of a number of successful charity fundraising events in the past and continues to support charitable causes locally, nationally and internationally. We came together through a common affiliation with an organization called The New Club of Paris, of which I was one of three co-initiators in 2005, the mission of which was and is to set agendas in knowledge politics and policies. I think it will be of high interest to find out, if and how St. Anna CCRI can take advantage of Gareth´s activities, and, vice versa, Gareth will learn about St. Anna CCRI's endeavors to manage promising R&D in the field of childhood cancer.”
