The Moral Failings Of The Western Healthcare System - Part 2 - Urgent Calls From Distant Places

How can the U.S. spend more per capita on healthcare than any other high-income country and still report such high levels of patient dissatisfaction? In the second episode of a three-part series “Urgent Calls From Distant Places,” Dr. Munk discusses his decision to focus on healthcare administration to address the dysfunction, which he categorizes as a moral failure of healthcare. The conversation concludes with lessons he learned from the African healthcare system.Guest◼️ Dr. Marc-David Munk, MD, MPH, Executive Director of The Carlin Foundation and Author of Urgent Calls From Distant PlacesReferences◼️Book: Urgent Calls From Distant Places (Out Now)◼️ Exclusive: More Than 70% of Americans Feel Failed by the Health Care SystemHosts & Producers◼️ Gordon Thane, BMSc, MPH, PMP®◼️ Leshawn Benedict, MPH, MSc, PMP®Production Notes◼️ Music from Johnny Harris x Tom Fox: The Music RoomSubscribe to the NewsletterSubscribe to The Insight newsletter so you don’t miss out on the latest podcast episodes, live events, job skills, learning opportunities, and other engaging professional development content here.
