Yale Global Health Insights is a podcast that explores and uncovers the personal stories and insights of global health stakeholders at Yale and their partners worldwide. Our mission is to bring the personal side of global health and why clinicians and researchers do the work that they do. We’ll provide a platform for the voices shaping the landscape of global health. In each episode, we’ll unravel their personal journeys, the moments that ignited their interest in global health, the challenges they faced, and the triumphs that keep them moving forward. It’s a chance to see beyond the titles and credentials to understand the human side of why we all choose to do what we do.
