Join us for a virtual conversation on the real-world consequences of international aid cuts on global health outcomes, disease surveillance, and pandemic preparedness.
Dr. Davide Rasella is an ICREA Research Professor and head of the Global Health Impact Assessment and Evaluation Group, specializing in social epidemiology and how policies and financing shape population health in low- and middle-income countries. His work quantifies the health effects of reductions in development assistance, focusing on child and maternal health, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis across Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Check out Dr Davide Rasella’s paper which will ground our conversation, where he finds aid cuts could result in more than 22 million additional deaths by 2030, including 5.4 million children under five : https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langlo/article/PIIS2214-109X(26)00008-2/fulltext
