A Partnership for a Shared Vision of Equity in Global Health

This Global Health Coffee Session features Dr. Jessica Haberer of Harvard Medical School and Professor Yap Boum II of the Institute Pasteur of Bangui who discuss their decade-long collaboration promoting global health equity through advocacy, mentorship, and empowering communities. In this interactive, hybrid event, speakers present their new project, “The Village”, an AI digital platform connecting researchers, clinicians and institutions worldwide without barriers. By facilitating cross-border connections, The Village aims to decolonize global health by giving communities access to diverse resources and empowerment to develop innovative, locally led solutions. Drs. Haberer and Boum reflect on the lessons learned from their long-standing partnership, including the key strategies and approaches that helped them to collaborate effectively and overcome challenges together. Dr. Louise C. Ivers is the moderator of this conversation.

Speakers’ remarks are based on their own scholarship and experience. As such, they speak for themselves, not for Harvard.
