Tired of hearing about “reimagining” of global health? I sat down with 2 sharp thinkers I deeply respect to cut through the noise. Listen, reflect, & ask yourself: In this era of endless “reimagining,” how will you make a difference?

I couldn’t pinpoint exactly who first coined the phrase “children are our future,” but it’s a sentiment echoed through history. This episode dives into how we can keep our children healthy in the midst of what feels like a metacrisis. www.buzzsprout.com/1632040/epis...

Fortunate to have served in leadership roles @ Royal College of Dentists of Canada for 15 years. As we celebrate 60 years of excellence in dental specialties, I’m reflecting on the power of community & the impact of giving back. Sending cheers to Halifax, for the Gala Dinner tonight!

Substance use is complex—culturally, historically, socially. Kwame McKenzie breaks it down brilliantly. If you haven’t listened yet, don’t miss it. An insight will stick with you. tdr.who.int/global-healt...

Five years ago, I asked: “Why are there no podcasts on global health?” Weeks later, I was learning new terms and meeting media experts. But I knew what I wanted: no scripts, no jingles—just real conversations. That’s how @ghm-podcast.bsky.social was born. Glad I asked that question.

I usually post about recent episodes after they’ve aired, to gather listeners’ feedback. My conversation with @drejoanneliu.bsky.social resonated deeply with them.
The weekend is ahead - have a listen!

While the 12th #EDCTPForum is still going on, my highlight is meeting Yiqi Liu from @dndi.org. Yiqi told me she listened the latest episode of @ghm-podcast.bsky.social on her way to Kigali for the @edctp3-cryptott.bsky.social Forum! Did you listen to the latest episode?

@alexandre-cf.bsky.social me disse que precisamos garantir que a IA funcione para todos, não apenas para os pacientes ricos. Isso me preocupou, pois não podemos permitir que surja uma nova desigualdade. Jiho Cha는 AI 혁신은 민간 기업이 주도하지만, 그와 같은 국회의원을 포함한 공공 주체가 개입해야 한다고 말했습니다. 저는 전적으로 동의합니다.

This year's #WHA78 was as bustling as ever. A personal highlight was connecting with Nelson Sewankambo, a titan in African health research & former principal of Makerere U College of Health Sciences. Nelson is an avid listener of the @ghm-podcast.bsky.social podcast. Thank you, for being such a fan!

You might’ve noticed - I’ve started a new Vodcast series “Trailblazers with Garry”. No scripts. No talking points. Just curiosity & conversations. When I hit “record,” I don't know where will it go🎤 🎬 More episodes. Spoiler alert, one’s coming soon😃@wellcometrust.bsky.social @ghm-podcast.bsky.social
