Global Public Health Revolution: Beyond 2025

Where Faith Meets Public Health: A Conversation with Nuns from Jyothis Care Centre

Faith-based organizations deliver a huge share of healthcare in low and middle income countries, yet their work often happens far from the spotlight. In this episode of Global Public Health Revolution, host Kemi Gbadamosi sits down with Sister Rania and Sister Roslin from the Jyothis Care Center in Mumbai to talk about what that work actually looks like on the ground. They share powerful stories from decades of caring for people living with HIV, many of whom arrived abandoned by their families and communities.

Why the EU Must Stop Blocking Health Equity

In this episode, host Kemi Gbadamosi sits down with Sangeeta Shashikant of the Third World Network to unpack the high-stakes negotiations around the pathogen access and benefit sharing annex, a key part of the global pandemic agreement adopted in 2025. They break down why this system matters for the future of pandemic preparedness, how pathogen samples and genetic data help develop vaccines and treatments, and why developing countries are demanding fair benefit sharing in return. The conversation also explores tensions between public health and commercial interests, the role of pharmaceutical companies, and the concerns that the current negotiating text may weaken equity rather than strengthen it. With another pandemic always a possibility, the decisions being made now could shape whether the next global health emergency is handled more fairly than COVID-19. At the center of the debate is a simple question: will the global system prioritize people and public health, or profit and power?
