The health of the world’s population exists on shaky grounds amid widespread cuts in foreign aid and the U.S.’s withdrawal from global cooperation.
Devex sat down with Dr. Seth Berkley, the former head of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, on the sidelines of the Africa Health Agenda International Conference held recently in Kigali, to discuss what this could mean for the world and where priorities should lie.
Berkley served as head of Gavi from 2011 to 2023, and now works in advisory roles for organizations, such as the Serum Institute of India, in areas such as vaccines, and other interventions for diseases impacting low- and middle-income countries.
