ABC Radio National’s Big Ideas program recorded our recent event with global health expert, Nina Schwalbe. The ABC writes:
The global health order is shifting — and the ripple effects are impossible to ignore. Once the world’s largest funder of health programs, the United States has pulled back dramatically: cutting HIV/AIDS support, freezing critical research funding, restricting gender-affirming care, and withdrawing from major global institutions like the WHO.
What does this retreat mean for pandemic readiness, global health security, and the future of international cooperation? In this special ABC event, Nina Schwalbe, one of the world’s leading voices on global health, breaks down the consequences — and what must happen next to avoid losing decades of progress.
This conversation was presented by the The Australian Institute for Infectious Disease (AIID) and the Australian Global Health Alliance.
