Conversation: Exploring Global Health


Tuesday night I was in New York at an event for Harvard Medical School, “Conversation: Exploring Global Health.” Moderated by 60 Minutes’ Byron Pitts, the event was a conversation about the history and direction of global health with Dr. Paul Farmer, who among other things leads the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at HMS and co-founded Partners In Health one of the most influential, visionary and effective international humanitarian organizations, and Dr. Joia Mukherjee, who was just named the Director of Global Medical Education and Social Change at HMS.
