The Pacdev Podcast: Joel Negin on aid cuts to health in PNG, and preparing for the next great pandemic

In our first Pacdev Podcast we interview Joel Negin, Associate Professor of International Health and Acting Head of School, School of Public Health, The University of Sydney. Joel talks about Australian aid cuts to the health sector and especially maternal and child health in Papua New Guinea; the risks associated with coming pandemics, and the suitability of WHO to meet the challenge. Recorded 10 February 2016 just after Joel had delivered his paper at the 2016 Australian Aid Conference at the Development Policy Centre, Australian National University, Canberra.

 

And here's Joel's presentation at the conference, written with Glen Mola, University of Papua New Guinea.
