The Johns Hopkins International Injury Research Unit would like to thank our colleagues and partners who supported us on Tuesday, March 15, 2011 during our launch as a WHO Collaborating Center for Injuries, Violence and Accident Prevention. The day-long event also commemorated 50 years of service by the Department of International Health. Please check back in a few weeks for more information, presentation files, the full event video, and other key highlights.
