Critical Challenges in Global Health--Why You Should Care and What Can Be Done
​
Richard’s talk will build on the notion that “the health of anyone, anywhere is the health of everyone, everywhere.” He will comment about some of the important progress that has been made in global health. He will then examine key parts of the “unfinished agenda in global health,” some of the critical challenges to addressing that agenda, how some of those challenges can be met, and the role that each of us can play in this effort. Richard’s comments will be followed by what we hope will be a robust discussion among those who join the session.
