This week on Wellbeing we speak with Dr Tanmay Bagade, a Lecturer in Medical Education and Global Health at the University of Newcastle. Dr Bagade has worked all over the world in the medical field including in India, Somalia, and Papua New Guinea. He has worked and collaborated with several international organisations such as the World Health Organisation and the United Nations. When not working overseas, Dr Bargade helps his students become compassionate and empathetic international health practitioners. 

In this episode Dr Bagade talks about the global links between heath systems around the world, the economic and political contexts that can make or break a health system, Australia's health system and what makes it successful, the importance of quality education for aspiring practitioners in lower income nations, and what Australia's role is in helping other nations in a health context. 

“We are all connected due to globalisation, so global health is very important in terms of improving worldwide health and access to health care services and quality of health care.”  - Dr Tanmay Bagade on this episode of Wellbeing
