He has drawn on his experience to offer both criticism and commendation of global response efforts to the pandemic, and has emphasized the health inequities being brought to light as a result.
Join STAT’s senior infectious diseases and global health reporter, Helen Branswell, for a live video chat with Besser, who is now president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, today at 11 a.m. ET.
