Diagnostics: The Gateway for Managing Pandemics

Ben catches up with infectious disease physicians Tamar Tchelidze and Ben La Brot, on how networks of lab-based and point of care tests can drive better diagnosing and management of infectious disease - and can PrEP and HIV treatment be the poster-child to prove this to skeptical policy makers? Sponsored by Roche Diagnostics.

Doomsday Watch Meets Global Health (with guest Arthur Snell)

Ben meets Arthur Snell, former UK diplomat, host of the Doomsday Watch Podcast, and author of the Amazon UK bestseller “How Britain Broke The World” to explore how the greatest challenges facing the international community are radically changing global health priorities. Arthur reflects on the wide-ranging impacts of Russia’s ill-fated invasion of Ukraine, NATO’s retreat from Afghanistan, and what to expect from the new British Prime Minister Liz Truss - particularly whether the UK will follow the lead of the US and European partners and support the 7th replenishment of the Global Fund.
