Description

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the world’s vulnerabilities to health and economic ruin from disease outbreaks. The pandemic has also revealed fundamental weaknesses and contradictions in global health. During this conversation, Dr. Adeyi will discuss the roots of these weaknesses and contradictions; how geo-politics, power dynamics, knowledge gaps, racism, and corruption affect global health; and why foreign aid for health is due for a radical overhaul. Drawing on his 30 years of experience, Dr. Adeyi will outline his recommendations for a brighter future for global health.
