Speaker: Birgit Priest

The talk describes the health statistics and health care system in Honduras in contrast to that in the US. Maybe surprisingly life expectancy is only 4 years less in Honduras despite poor access to health care. It also describes the fairly unique approach of the non-profit Global Brigades to supply health care to underserved rural populations through volunteer medical brigades, and training of community health workers.

Our Speaker is a scientist involved in pharmacology research and is passionate about helping others and finding sustainable solutions.
