S&S Dinner Dialogues, with Dr. Gavin Yamey - The Future of Global Health Cooperation: Opportunities & Roadblocks
Event Details
Spurred on by the adoption of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the global health community has achieved dramatic gains in recent decades. To give one example, global child mortality was cut by over half from 1990 to 2015. Yet major roadblocks are getting in the way of further progress—from stark health inequities within and between countries to emerging infections and a global pandemic of non-communicable diseases like diabetes and cancer.
How well is the world equipped to take on this next generation of challenges? Join us for a Dinner Dialogue with Professor Gavin Yamey, Director of the Center for Policy Impact in Global Health and a Professor of Global Health and Public Policy.
