Not all healthcare is created equal. 

Whether it’s a postcode that limits your services, a language barrier at the clinic, or a system that overlooks accessibility - too many people are being left behind. But how do we build healthcare systems that can fairly serve its communities regardless of postcode, income, or identity? 

In this episode of the Engineering the Future podcast, UNSW’s biomedical engineer Associate Professor Lauren Kark, and Managing Director of Taking Paediatrics Abroad, Kathryn Currow, chats with STEM journalist Neil Martin, about the challenges of ensuring healthcare that is just for all and the importance of advocating for sustainable solutions and capacity building over mere financial investment.
