André-Jacques Neusy, M.D.

André-Jacques Neusy

With the creation of the Center for Global Health in 1998 and the co-founding of the Institute of Urban and Global Health two years later, André-Jacques Neusy, MD, brought global health to NYU School of Medicine." I have seen too many people die of diseases that are preventable. Sometimes the problem is so simple: a mother does not have access to an antibiotic that could save the life of her child," says Dr. Neusy.

Born to missionary parents, Dr. Neusy, an Associate Professor of Medicine, was raised in Congo-Zaire where he spent his formative years and completed his premedical education. He obtained his medical degree and a certificate in Tropical Medicine and Hygiene at the Free University of Brussels School of Medicine, completed his postdoctoral medical training at New York University Medical Center and joined its faculty in 1977.

Dr. Neusy volunteers his services with several community-based organizations in underserved areas in New York City and has returned numerous times to Africa to serve as a medical professional and coordinator of health programs both in development and disaster settings. He led the health team of the International Rescue Committee (IRC) during the humanitarian crisis and cholera epidemic in Goma, Zaire in the aftermath of the genocide in Rwanda in 1994. "Working with the health systems in Rwanda, I realized that, in spite of my degree in tropical medicine, I was ill equipped to handle the situation. It made me understand the need for public health professionals to have a broad range of skills and be able to work across many sectors," says Dr. Neusy.

Upon his return from Zaire Dr. Neusy became an Advisor to the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Rwanda. President of the International Health Medical Education Consortium, he has lectured on humanitarian disaster management and on global health related issues at various institutions including the University of Paris, Princeton University, The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Boston University School of Public Health and the California Institute for Integral Studies.
