Global health interventions face new challenges in a shifting funding landscape. This event draws on the example of Pivot, a nonprofit working in Madagascar since 2014, to show how strengthening health systems improves access to care. The program features Pivot’s impact data and a panel discussion with clinicians, policy-makers, and researchers on how humility, partnership, and science can rebuild trust and improve outcomes in global health.
This event highlights the work of Matt Bonds, drawing on his experience as a former Burke Fellow and current faculty member at Harvard Medical School. This program focuses on his research and related initiatives at Pivot, the non-profit organization he co-founded.
