SUMMARY:Responding to Global Health Challenges
DESCRIPTION:How do global health challenges affect people living in New Hampshire? How can the United States best cooperate with other nations to achieve the common good of public health? How do we best prepare to respond to pandemics in the future? \nThe World Affairs Council of New Hampshire is happy to host a discussion on responding to global health challenges\, with Mark Lagon of the Friends of the Global Fight Against AIDS\, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The organization exists to advocate support in the U.S. for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS\, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund)\, an independent\, multilateral financing entity designed to raise significant resources and accelerate efforts to end the AIDS\, tuberculosis (TB)\, and malaria epidemics. The Global Fund has also played a major role in COVID-19 response efforts in countries that receive its support through its “COVID-19 Response Mechanism (C19RM)”. After Lagon’s opening remarks\, a moderated Question and Answer session will follow.  \nWe hope you can join us for this important online event!  \nOnline – www.wacnh.org \n\n \nAbout the Speaker \nMark Lagon is a specialist on global health\, human rights\, human trafficking\, and global institutions.  He is Chief Policy Officer at Friends of the Global Fight Against AIDS\, Tuberculosis\, and Malaria—where he coordinates the non-profit’s Administration and congressional outreach\, policy advocacy and coalition management\, and research content.  He is also Senior Fellow at the Trinity Forum\, and Adjunct Professor in the Masters of Science in Foreign Service (MSFS) Program at Georgetown University. \nHe previously served as President of Freedom House\, a non-profit that conducts research and advocacy on democracy\, political freedom and human rights.
