As part of its U.S. Global Health Policy: In Focus webcast series, the Kaiser Family Foundation on Wednesday hosted a panel of experts to discuss outcomes of the Cannes G20 Summit meetings on infrastructure development, food security and innovative financing options for development and the implications for global health. Panelists also discussed the current state of global health funding from donor countries, including the United States and European community, as well as a range of new financing mechanisms under consideration to supplement funding from traditional channels.

The expert panel, which was moderated by Jen Kates, vice president and director of Global Health & HIV Policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation, included Katherine Bliss, senior fellow and deputy director of the CSIS Global Health Policy Center; Deborah Derrick, senior program officer for Global Health Policy and Advocacy at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; and Josh Michaud, principal policy analyst of Global Health Policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation. Archived audio and video versions of the webcast, as well as additional resources, are available online (11/9).
