American Journal of Public Health Podcas‪t‬ AJPH

History has always occupied an important place in the Journal. In this podcast, we show how the tables were turned over the course of a century and left three countries, the USA, China, and Spain, in very different relations to each other and to the pandemics in just about a century. I am meeting with with Dr. Ted Brown and Dr. Miguel Hernan in a panel session and separately with Dr. Ruth Rogaski to explore these historical turnarounds.

Mark Ryan, from WHO, points out that we may still not facing what “the big one”. I met with Dr Renuka Tiperneni (U. Michigan), Dr Jeremy Greene (Johns Hopkins), and Dr. Rebekah Gee (Louisiana State U) to explore how public health can be galvanized so that a new administration best prepares the country to face a future pandemic that is worse than Covid-19.

It also features a song by KJ Denhert.

We review the evidence relating medical care expenses and health and discuss whether diverting part of the resources now wasted in medical care, which is expensive per capita and of inequitable access, and investing these resources in prevention can help reinvent public health.
