• Thorkild Tylleskär (MD, PhD, MA) is a paediatrician and professor in International Health since 2001, trained at Uppsala University and Uppsala University Hospital in Sweden. His focus is on child health, birth care, neonatal care, HIV, nutrition, health informatics and clinical trials in a global perspective.

• He has a French Master in African Linguistics from Sorbonne University after field work in present-day Democratic Republic of Congo (former Zaire).

• His medical PhD thesis in 1994 under the supervision of late Prof Hans Rosling describes the toxico-nutritional causation of ‘konzo’, a paralytic disorder permanently crippling women and children in DR Congo and other pockets in Africa, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konzo.

• 11 of his former PhD-candidates have been promoted to professors at universities in Africa, USA and Norway.
