Author and global health philanthropist John Green discussed AMPATH and his new book at the Indiana University Global Health Scholars Day this spring.
Author John Green Discusses AMPATH and Global Health
“A lot of what’s happened in global health in the last two decades has validated the work that AMPATH has been doing from the beginning. Work that’s deeply, deeply embedded
in a public health care system where government is a partner instead of an enemy, where ultimately the resources that are brought to bear are resources that are controlled and owned by the communities where they’re working through their governments. All of that stuff has been really deeply validated by what we’ve learned at an academic level in the last decade or two. So you don’t just get to do cool global health work. You get to do cool global health work that’s deeply aligned with what we know is most effective.””
