Global health expert Maeve Magner joins TraceLink’s Roddy Martin on The Agile Supply Chain Podcast to discuss how large-scale disruptions like COVID-19 can create complex challenges—and opportunities—for emerging markets across the world.

• Lessons learned from Ebola have provided a framework for COVID-19 response in African markets, including restricting travel and contact-tracing capabilities, but challenges persist.
• Emerging markets are making progress toward patient-centric models, but in many cases have different drivers than in industrialized markets.
