Date & Time: Friday, April 11, 2025 at 12 p.m. ET / 9 a.m. PT
Location: Livestream (Link emailed upon registration)
Join Partners In Health leaders, Dr. Joia Mukherjee, PIH chief medical officer, and Vincent Lin, PIH associate director of health policy & advocacy, alongside Asia Russell, Health GAP (Global Access Project) executive director, to learn what you can do to ensure health is a human right for everyone. The U.S. government’s push to withdraw from WHO, dissolve USAID, and freeze critical foreign aid programs threatens the movement toward global health equity and endangers millions of people’s lives. Joia, Vincent and Asia will discuss the fight we’re in, what’s at stake, and what you can do to advocate for and stand in solidarity with the most marginalized around the world.
Global Health Justice Week is a global campaign inspired by the legacy, teachings, and impact of PIH’s co-founder, the late Dr. Paul Farmer. This year, we'll especially focus on the importance of unity and solidarity in the fight for health justice. The fight could not be timelier; we hope you will join us to hear how you can take part in the movement.
Speakers: Dr. Joia Mukherjee (speaker and moderator), Vincent Lin, Asia Russell
