The Moral Failings Of The Western Healthcare System - Part 2 - Urgent Calls From Distant Places


Listen Later

How can the U.S. spend more per capita on healthcare than any other high-income country and still report such high levels of patient dissatisfaction? 

In the second episode of a three-part series “Urgent Calls From Distant Places,” Dr. Munk discusses his decision to focus on healthcare administration to address the dysfunction, which he categorizes as a moral failure of healthcare. The conversation concludes with lessons he learned from the African healthcare system.
