The Power of Prevention
Listen now
Description
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 PiƩrre, 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.
