  • Summary

  • The global economy is in a state of uncertainty as governments around the world cut budgets and introduce belt-tightening austerity measures. Progress is more urgent now than ever for people living with and affected by infectious diseases. Fully funding innovative options to test, prevent, and treat infectious diseases, as well as research and development exploring cures, is critical. In this episode, host Henry Bonsu brings together Peter Sands, the executive director of the Global Fund, Ricardo Baptista Leite, a former member of Portugal’s parliament and CEO for HealthAI — The Global Agency for Responsible AI in Health, and Helen McDowell, the head of government affairs and global public health at ViiV Healthcare, to ask how national health systems and the international community might provide dependable, long-term funding to end infectious disease epidemics.
