Senior Lecturer Brian Trelstad speaks with Raj Panjabi, CEO of Last Mile Health, about systems change in health care and a new case study outlining Last Mile Health’s role in combatting Ebola in Liberia in 2015. Could the Government of Liberia’s national community health worker program provide lessons for the United States and other nations to address COVID-19 and future mass scale health events? Founded in 2007, Last Mile Health partners with countries to design and build community-based primary health systems.
