Globalization, growing inequality and creative responses

About this lecture
Remarkable advances in global health have been achieved over the past three decades. Nevertheless, enormous gaps in health persist worldwide. Dr. Gloyd will provide evidence and share personal stories that illustrate both the positive impact of the advances—and the pervasive forces that continue to produce growing inequality between rich and poor. He will show that achieving health for all requires addressing rights, delivering justice and ensuring equity.
