Sinopsis

March 8, 2018 — A large new study of more than 1.3 million people finds high rates of diabetes and hypertension in India. We'll speak to experts about what could be driving this trend—and how health systems in India and around the world must adapt to address the growing threat from noncommunicable diseases. You'll hear from Pascal Geldsetzer, a third-year doctoral student in the Department of Global Health and Population, Lindsay Jaacks, assistant professor of global health, and Rifat Atun, professor of global health systems. Learn more about the new Harvard Chan research collaborative, GHP Project on Access to Care for Cardiometabolic Diseases (HPACC), which aims to address the significant unmet need for care of diabetes, hypertension, and other conditions in low- and middle-income countries.
