Podcast Overview

<p>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. Global health institutions, when failing to address deep-rooted issues, can perpetuate inequalities between North and South. Across various episodes, we explore issues like the implications of intellectual property to access to medicines, the use of policy space through TRIPS flexibilities, international regulatory standards, the intersection of biological diversity with health, and developments regarding these topics in international fora, through an equity perspective. <br><br>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 advocates 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. <br><br><b>Find us on</b><br><a href="https://twn.my/">Website</a><br><a href="https://www.twitter.com/3rdworldnetwork">Twitter</a><br><a href="https://www/facebook.com/3rdworldnetwork">Facebook</a><br><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thirdworldnetwork">Instagram</a><br><a href="https://linkedin.com/thirdworldnetwork">LinkedIn</a><br><br><b>Credits</b><br>Production: Third World Network Berhad<br>Audio editing: Guilherme Conde<br>Original soundtrack (intro and outro): Daniel Gómez Rico<br>Artwork: Ames Sia</p>

Today, those rules are even more evident through the announcement of Trump's tariff deals.
