This episode features a discussion with Dr. Tom Frieden about his new initiative, Resolve to Save Lives. Dr. Frieden is President and Chief Executive Officer of Resolve, a $225 million, 5-year initiative housed at Vital Strategies, a non-profit global health organization working toward the vision that all people are protected by a strong public health system. The Resolve initiative aims to save millions of lives from cardiovascular disease and make the world safer from epidemics. Resolve is funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Dr. Frieden was Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from 2009 to 2017, and led the CDC work that helped end the Ebola epidemic. Over the course of his career, he controlled the largest outbreak of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis ever to occur in the United States, helped establish the largest tuberculosis control program in the world in India, and directed efforts on several public health issues that led to a rapid increase in life expectancy in New York City.
Hosted by Steve Morrison. Produced by Cathryn Streifel. Edited by Ribka Gemilangsari.
