Global Health Institute

Dr. Mark Dybul, faculty co-director of the Center for Global Health and Quality, joined our class in the Berkley Center on March 22, 2019, to discuss his career path in global health and share his insights on the future of this evolving industry. Dr. Dybul drew from his experience as the executive director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, as well as his experience directing the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), to address the role of communication, collaboration, and education in solving future global health challenges.

On Tuesday, February 26th, 2019, Dr. Daniela Ligiero spoke at Georgetown to an undergraduate seminar course, Conversations in Global Health. The conversation we had with Dr. Ligiero was engaging and personal. The CEO and Executive Director of Together for Girls, a global public-private organization that believes ending violence against children is fundamental to global health and inequality, Dr. Ligiero touched on quite a few difficult topics of discussion. Yet, the conversation was bright and inspirational. Dr. Ligiero’s focus is clearly on a hopeful future for non-violence, rooted in solutions to address these pressing global health issues.
