Hans Rosling (born 27 July 1948) is a Swedish medical doctor, academic, statistician and public speaker. He is Professor of International Health at Karolinska Institute〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://ki.se/ki/jsp/polopoly.jsp?l=en&d=2024 )〕 and co-founder and chairman of the Gapminder Foundation, which developed the Trendalyzer software system. ==Biography== Rosling was born in Uppsala, Sweden. From 1967 to 1974 Rosling studied statistics and medicine at Uppsala University, and in 1972 he studied public health at St. John's Medical College, Bangalore, India. He became a licensed physician in 1976 and from 1979 to 1981 he served as District Medical Officer in Nacala in northern Mozambique. On 21 August 1981, Rosling discovered an outbreak of konzo, a paralytic disease, and the investigations that followed earned him a Ph.D. degree at Uppsala University in 1986. He spent two decades studying outbreaks of this disease in remote rural areas across Africa and supervised more than ten Ph.D. students. Outbreaks occur among hunger-stricken rural populations in Africa where a diet dominated by insufficiently processed cassava results in simultaneous malnutrition and high dietary cyanide intake.〔 Rosling's research has also focused on other links between economic development, agriculture, poverty and health. He has been health adviser to WHO, UNICEF and several aid agencies. In 1993 he was one of the initiators of Médecins Sans Frontières in Sweden. At Karolinska Institutet he was head of the Division of International Health (IHCAR) from 2001 to 2007. As chairman of the Karolinska International Research and Training Committee (1998–2004) he started health research collaborations with universities in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. He started new courses on Global Health and co-authored a textbook on Global Health that promotes a fact-based world view. Rosling presented the television documentary ''The Joy of Stats'', which was broadcast in the United Kingdom by BBC Four in December 2010. He presented a documentary ''Don't Panic – The Truth About Population'' for the ''This World'' series using a Musion 3D projection display,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2013/bbc-two-hans-rosling.html )〕 which appeared on BBC Two in the UK in November 2013. In 2015 he presented the documentary documentary 'Don’t Panic: How To End Poverty In 15 Years’ which was produced by Wingspan and aired on the BBC just ahead of the annunciation of the Sustainable Development Goals.〔The Gapminder’s website lists information on the empirical data and research used as the basis for the documentary “Don’t Panic, How to End Poverty”: http://www.gapminder.org/news/data-sources-dont-panic-end-poverty/ The sources used are World Bank data, Overseas Development Institute data, research results by Branko Milanovic, Our World in Data, and information from the Demographic and Health Surveys program.
