Welcome to Global Health Insights.
I created Global Health Insights to leverage insights from more than a quarter century working in global health against these contemporary issues and challenges. Here is a podcast where I talk about my career and some of the lessons and mistakes made so you can learn from them.
I plan to write about topics in global health including reflections on WHO, which is the central institution in the global health architecture, especially on strategy and governance. I want to explore those approaches that can accelerate progress: innovation, data and delivery, and partnership. I also plan to draw upon my work in ethics and explore issues of equity, character and leadership. Finally, the most frequent question I am asked by young people is about careers in global health, and I plan to discuss that too.
Global Health Insights will be of interest I hope to everyone who is interested in global health. Those tackling other global challenges, and other Sustainable Development Goals, may also find the approaches helpful. I hope Global Health Insights is of particular use to young people in any field as you decide on your future, and to leaders at all levels. I would ask Professors of Public Health, Public Policy, Global Governance, and Global Health to send it to their students; and I am happy to engage with your classes. I want Global Health Insights to be responsive to questions, requests and suggestions.
