This is a zoom recording of a lovely and fascinating conversation between two global health leaders, Purnima Mane and Geeta Rao Gupta, as they reflect on how India’s cultural and structural barriers - particularly towards girls and women - have enabled SARS CoV2 to spread so widely. While the headlines may have faded away, the huge damage done by this pandemic are far from over.

This episode was made in partnership with the Bay Area Global Health Alliance, a network of academic institutions, nonprofits, and innovative tech, biotech and pharmaceutical companies -- all committed to advancing global health equity and #innovation.
