Global health is full of contradictions. New medical innovations are being developed faster than ever, but many remain unaffordable or inaccessible to the countries that need them most. The International Affordable Diagnostics and Therapeutics Alliance (IA-DATA) wants to change that, aiming to build a global ecosystem where both diagnostics and therapeutics are not just affordable, but equitably developed and distributed. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Sanjeev Krishna, Professor of Molecular Parasitology and Medicine at City St George's University of London, and Jean-Michel Piedagnel, Director of the South-South Diagnostic Alliance.
