Health Equity in Focus delves into the intricate dynamics of global health, examining how historical legacies continue to shape present-day realities in the Global South. Across various episodes, we explore issues like access to medicines, international regulatory standards, data sharing, and the intersection of biological diversity with health through an equity perspective. Global health institutions, when failing to address these deep-rooted issues, can perpetuate these inequalities between North and South.
As a reflection of the Third World Network’s core mission, this podcast offers a fresh perspective on these matters. While our work often involves highly technical contributions, the subtext of our interventions is deeply political, advocating for a reimagined global order. This vision is one where development equips countries with the means to uplift their populations and foster a fairer, more equitable world. And that is the object of this conversation.
