Medicine and Science from The BMJ

Give children control; supporting adolescent health and wellbeing


Listen Later

This is the second episode of a special three-part podcast series that delves into adolescent health and wellbeing, focusing on creating a positive trajectory of health from a young age.

 

The podcast explores physical and mental health issues affecting young people globally, particularly in sexual and reproductive health. We hear how young people are excluded from decisions about their own health, and how grassroots groups around the world are empowering them to take responsibility for their own wellbeing.

 

We also hear how young people are becoming leaders in social movements, from tackling structural racism to improving nutrition in schools, and how their unique perspectives are vital in making those changes.

 

Our guests:

Natasha Salifyanji Kaoma, Copper Rose Zambia

Alaa Murabit, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

Donald Bundy, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine

Anshu Banerjee, World Health Organisation

Dev Sharma, Bite Back 2030

Hosted by Adam Levy



Supported by the Fondation Botnar and PMNCH, the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health. Read the full cCollection of articles showing the importance of investing in adolescent wellbeing.
