In the sixth episode of the CommonHealth Live! series, Katherine E. Bliss will sit down with Dr. Hanan Balkhy, WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean. Dr. Balkhy will speak to her evolving vision for the region, encompassing EMRO’s multiple complex humanitarian operations—in Gaza, Yemen, Afghanistan, Libya, and beyond. She will also reflect on the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance and what may come out of the UN High-Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) to be held on the margins of the UN General Assembly on September 26.

This event is made possible through the generous support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
