Welcome to Eradication and the Challenge of Reaching the Last 1%

[?

SPEAKER: ?] Hello, everyone. My name is [INAUDIBLE]. I am a faculty member at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Welcome to the module on Health Equity and Social Justice. In today’s lecture, we will be diving into the importance of politics and how it shapes public-health agenda setting, and discuss challenges and strategies for delivering public-health programs, such as the polio-eradication initiative to populations that are most vulnerable and often the hardest to reach. Finally, we will review theoretical frameworks that will allow us to identify underlying factors that cause and perpetuate health inequity, as well as activities to confront and address these gaps. Thank you for joining us today.
