A New Dawn in Global Health: Technology & AI, Security & Solidarity, One Health and Governance, with Dr Mike Reid IGHS, UCSF

While the global health community wrenches its clothes and gnashes its teeth in Switzerland at the 78th World Health Assembly, Dr Mike Reid, Associate Director of the Center for Global Health Diplomacy, UCSF joins Ben in an entertaining and wide ranging exploration of a positive, forward-looking agenda for global health. Topics include global health security, one health, mis- and disinformation in the doctor-patient relationship, health technology and specific future uses and pitfalls of AI to improve access to healthcare in developing countries.  Mike offers a promise of a future episode on channelling philanthropic dollars into sovereign wealth funds for global health investments. And finally they reflect on their upbringing in the UK with its “free at the point of delivery” National Health Service, and argue over which of the modern Cambridge University Colleges they went to most resembles a multi-story car park.  00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:09 World Health Assembly Insights 01:18 Guest Introduction: Dr. Mike Reed 03:40 Mike Reid’s  Background and Career 05:58 Global Health Security and Solidarity 11:28 The One Health Agenda 14:12 Artificial Intelligence in Global Health 37:26 Navigating Healthcare Systems 43:48 Closing Remarks and Future Topics Mike’s Substack:  https://reimaginingglobalhealth.substack.com/ 💬 Join the Conversation How do you see the future of global health unfolding?
