The Inside Track: Lemons, 3G and Dreams

Can global health serve an increasingly fragmented world? That’s the question Garry Aslanyan asks co-hosts  Catherine Kyobutungi and Ricardo Baptista Leite in the latest installment of “The Inside Track.” And this time, the trio is joined by special guest Tenu Avafia, Deputy Executive Director of Unitaid. Their conversation spans AI governance, geopolitics, and access to health. From the mismatch between how AI is built and who it's built for, to the normalization of hate eroding global solidarity, to the rise of regional institutions like Africa CDC and the African Medicines Agency — this episode maps a global health landscape genuinely at a crossroads. Related episode documents, transcripts and other information can be found on our website.Subscribe to the Global Health Matters podcast newsletter.  Follow us for updates:@TDRnews on XTDR on LinkedIn@ghm_podcast on [email protected] on Bluesky  Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Global Health Matters podcast series are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of TDR or the World Health Organization.    All content © 2026 Global Health Matters.
