Center for Global Health Policy’s “Science Speaks”: The future of global health depends on the next President, panel says
Rabita Aziz, policy research coordinator for the Center for Global Health Policy, reports on a Kaiser Family Foundation event held on Wednesday that examined the future of U.S. global health policy and programs. She summarizes remarks made by the panelists, including Ambassador Deborah Birx, the U.S. global AIDS coordinator; Helene Gayle, CEO of McKinsey Social Initiative; Stephen Morrison, senior vice president and director of the Global Health Policy Center at CSIS; Gov. Tommy Thompson, former Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary; and Jen Kates, Kaiser Family Foundation vice president and director of global health and HIV policy, who moderated the discussion. Aziz notes that in conjunction with the event, the Kaiser Family Foundation also released an analysis of U.S. global health spending and new polling data on how Americans view the U.S. role in global health (1/21).
