Why are infants still dying from preventable causes? How do national security policies impact the health of immigrants and refugees? What is voluntourism and can it harm the communities we intend to serve? The field of global health is vast, and the challenges can feel overwhelming. But learning about it shouldn’t be.

Discover how inspiring leaders are combating global poverty, bringing clean water to remote villages, expanding healthcare access, and much more. Hosted by engineer turned social impact storyteller, Hetal Baman, Global Health Pursuit tackles these tough questions with a beginner's mindset. Join us every Tuesday for new episodes!
