The Power of Prevention
Health promotion and disease prevention are critical tools needed to eliminate epidemics, yet prevention remains under-resourced and insufficiently prioritized. How can we push prevention up the policy and political agenda so it is a more critical part of primary health care? In this episode, host Henry Bonsu joins Shereen El Feki, a renowned sexpert and the former regional director for the Middle East and North Africa at UNAIDS, and Randevyn Piérre, a regional director in external affairs for ViiV Healthcare, to explore what targeted prevention looks like for those leading the charge to avert HIV transmission, including partnering with community-led responses.

Banking on Progress
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.
