Video: The challenge ahead for better health in the developing world

Contributed by Economist Intelligence Unit - Published 23 October 2009

A webcast featuring experts from the Clinton Global Initiative

When it comes to accessing healthcare, citizens in developing countries face an array of challenges. These vary from country to country, but many may be based on underlying factors common to all. This webcast seeks to identify some of those challenges, and then to explore ways in which they may be overcome.

Moderated by The Economist's healthcare correspondent Vijay Vaitheeswaran, this discussion draws on the experience of several three Clinton Global Initiative leaders:

  • Stuart L Hart, professor of management at the Johnson School of Management, Cornell University
  • Jane Nelson, director of the Corporate Responsibility Initiative at the Harvard Kennedy School
  • Gary M Cohen, executive vice president, Becton Dickinson and Company
