In this episode we meet with experts who are
advancing new models of collaboration that
put countries in
the global south at the forefront.
We're joined by Dr. Mamka Anyona to discuss the
Health4Life Fund, a U.N.
led global financing partnership to accelerate action towards
noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and mental
health in
low- and middle-income
countries. What makes the Health4Life Fund innovative is its aim
to transform the NCDs
and mental health landscape through a country-led
approach that centers collective action and health
equity.
We also discuss new models for collaboration
with Dr. Mazvita Muchengeti, an Epidemiologist and the Acting Head of the National
Cancer Registry in South Africa. Dr. Muchengeti leads the IARC-GICR
collaborating center in Johannesburg, South Africa, which is one of
the three collaborating
centers facilitating better access to cancer data in
sub-Saharan Africa. She explains how collective action enables
the centers to leverage knowledge and funding in a low resource setting.
