Three global health experts - Gregg Alton JD, Executive Vice President, Gilead; Ambassador Eric Goosby MD: Global Health Science, UCSF; and Stefano Bertozzi MD PhD, Dean, School of Public Health, UC Berkeley - discuss the role and responsibilities of public and private organizations in the response to the global HIV and HCV epidemics. From policy advances to facilitate access to life saving antiretrovirals for millions of patients, to challenges in regulatory infrastructure, to the rocky path for point-of-care diagnostics and treatment monitoring technologies, to the recognition that treatment is prevention and key to any containment strategy – the lessons provided by the expansion and entrenchment of the HIV epidemic, and successes and failures in the public health response are unparalleled in the global health arena.

Ideas alone are good but not good enough – it takes collaboration to make things happen. That theme was heard throughout UC Global Health Day 2014, including in the morning plenary featuring Jonna Mazet, Executive Director of the One Health Institute and Andrew Hargadon of the Graduate School of Management at UC Davis. Drs. Mazet and Hargadon explored the discovery of penicillin, why this lifesaving antibiotic took so long to get to market, and what steps must be taken to advance the pace of global health innovation. UC Global Health Day was sponsored by the UC Global Health Institute. Series: "UC Global Health Institute" [Health and Medicine] [Professional Medical Education] [Show ID: 28251]
