Alejandro Jadad: "Tenemos que aprender a morir para vivir" | Doctor Honoris Causa UOC

The Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) has awarded an honorary doctorate to Colombian-Canadian doctor of medicine and philosophy Alejandro Jadad for his contributions to information and communication technologies applied to health. In 2011, Alejandro Jadad revised the definition of health coined by the WHO in 1948, which until then was conceived as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease" to "the ability to adapt and self-manage in the face of physical, mental, and social challenges."
