21st Century Global Health Priorities with Christopher Murray

The world has lived through 2+ years of the COVID-19 pandemic,
heightening the awareness of the links between health and other
aspects of life including education and the economy. Future
pandemics are a real risk but there are a number of other threats
to human health and well-being as well. These include climate
change, the rise of obesity, inverted population pyramids,
inter-state conflict, rising inequalities, antimicrobial
resistance. Counterbalancing these threats are the opportunities
that may come through the health sector and broader innovation.
Using a comprehensive future health scenario framework, Christopher
Murray, professor and chair of Health Metrics Sciences, University
of Washington and director of the Institute for Health Metrics and
Evaluation, explores the range of future trajectories that may
unfold in the 21st century. Series: "UC Berkeley Graduate Lectures"
