We’ve solved many medical mysteries. Where are the cures? | Saloni Dattani

from TED Talks Daily

Science communicator Saloni Dattani traces the quiet revolution of medical innovation that has slashed death rates from conditions like heart disease and malaria — and reveals the broken incentives that have delayed other lifesaving treatments for decades. "Diseases are not a fact of life," she says. "They're problems that we can solve." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
