The Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs program on Global Health and Medicine presents Ambassador Deborah Birx and her talk, “Policy and Public Health in the United States - Impact of the COVID pandemic on both.”
In this talk, Ambassador Deborah Birx, a globally recognized public health expert and former White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator, provides a nuanced exploration of public health in the United States, focusing on its inherent complexity and the critical need for coordination across federal, state, and local levels. Drawing from her extensive experience, Ambassador Birx examines the lessons learned during past public health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and discusses how these lessons might inform public health strategies and policies in the years ahead.
With an emphasis on the unique challenges and opportunities presented by the second Trump administration, the talk will delve into potential policy directions, resource allocations, and innovations that could shape the nation’s health outcomes. Ambassador Birx also considers the role of leadership, science, and public trust in navigating a rapidly evolving health landscape.
