Fighting the Diseases of Poverty
Manage episode 443130953 series 3015718
Poverty and health are closely associated. The nations of poverty host lowest life expectancy, greatest child mortality, and highest preventable deaths. Three interventions are especially effective. First, promotion of broad-based economic development which usually enhances health infrastructure. Second, mitigation of military conflict, which especially afflicts those most vulnerable. Third, deployment of specific interventions that have proven particularly effective against the leading diseases of poverty.
Session recorded on Friday, November 10th during Session Block #5 at 4:00 PM EST ; speaker: Nicholas Comninellis, MD, MPH, DIMPH
