In conversation with our Special Report on closing the gender health gap, Dr. Mamsallah Faal-Omisore joins our host, journalist Brian Mastroianni, in a discussion on how we can better support female healthcare workers in conflict settings around the world. The Clinical Director for Primary Care International (PCI), Dr. Faal-Omisore is a general practitioner and family physician who divides her time between London and Lagos. In this episode, she sheds a needed spotlight on some of the most essential (but often unsupported, and undervalued) healthcare workers on the frontlines of conflict - women. What are some of the adversities they face? What can be done to better support them as they provide needed, equitable - often lifesaving -care under some of the most challenging circumstances?

How will continued environmental degradation – loss of natural habitats, rising sea-levels, increased pollution – play a role in the development in NCDs in young people?

Hello from Re:solve Global Health to all global health aficionados out there!

For our first episode, we dig into long COVID. For most, coronavirus (COVID-19) feel better within a few days or weeks of their symptoms and fully recover within 12 weeks. For others, symptoms can last longer. This condition is now officially called long COVID or post-COVID-19 syndrome and is still under study. 

To find out more, our host Brian Mastroianni invites Dr Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease expert at UCSF who will publish a book on epidemics and their impact on global health later this year.
