Dismantling Disparities 

  • Summary

  • It’s not just infectious diseases that drive epidemics and pandemics; health inequalities can seriously stymie any progress. In this episode of Can We End Epidemics? host Henry Bonsu joins Oni Blackstock, a primary care and HIV physician and founder of the group Health Justice, Amanita Calderón-Cifuentes, an HIV research and advocacy officer for Transgender Europe, and Annemiek de Ruiter, ViiV Healthcare’s vice president and head of global medical sciences, to ask how poverty, racism, homophobia, transphobia, stigma, and all forms of discrimination, including criminalization, drive inadequate access to testing, prevention, treatment, and care, fueling epidemics. They discuss how policymakers, innovators, and community pioneers could address disparities by improving access to information, education, services, innovation, and health technologies for people and communities.
