In this episode we meet with experts who are advancing new models of collaboration that put countries in the global south at the forefront.
We're joined by Dr. Mamka Anyona to discuss the Health4Life Fund, a U.N. led global financing partnership to accelerate action towards noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and mental health in low- and middle-income countries. What makes the Health4Life Fund innovative is its aim to transform the NCDs and mental health landscape through a country-led approach that centers collective action and health equity.
We also discuss new models for collaboration with Dr. Mazvita Muchengeti, an Epidemiologist and the Acting Head of the National Cancer Registry in South Africa. Dr. Muchengeti leads the IARC-GICR collaborating center in Johannesburg, South Africa, which is one of the three collaborating centers facilitating better access to cancer data in sub-Saharan Africa. She explains how collective action enables the centers to leverage knowledge and funding in a low resource setting.
