Are there efforts to help develop the laboratory portion of the health sector? What does that look like?

Strengthening health systems comes down to staff, stuff, space, systems and support. This month on A Deeper Look, Patrick Fine talks with Paul Farmer, who is the Co-Founder, Chief Strategist and Chair of the Board of Trustees of Partners in Health, and a medical anthropologist, physician and author. They discuss how to keep human connection and authentic partnership at the center of human development.

FHI 360's Chief Executive Officer Patrick Fine hosts conversations with creative thinkers, respected leaders and local actors who are at the forefront of human development and who bring diverse perspectives to timely, high-stakes and sometimes controversial issues affecting people around the world.

Strengthening health systems through authentic partnerships

There are two essential ingredients to effective collaboration on human development challenges: trust and humility. In this final episode of A Deeper Look podcast, Patrick Fine takes the interviewee seat, and Dr. Otto Chabikuli, FHI 360’s Director of Global Health, Population and Nutrition, asks for Patrick’s reflections on what constitutes good practice in human development. They discuss the evolution of development, the crosscutting challenges ahead and the need to approach development work collaboratively and with respect.

A perspective on “good” development

Pakachere Institute of Health and Development Communications (IHDC) and FHI 360 have been partners since 2015, working to expand access to HIV services among key populations in Malawi. In 2019, Pakachere began receiving direct funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development. Since then, the organizations have continued to partner and FHI 360 has supported Pakachere IHDC as it grows. 

In this conversation, Amita Mehrotra and David Chilongozi (of FHI 360’s Meeting Targets and Achieving Epidemic Control, or EpiC, project) and Simon Sikwese and Grace Kumwenda (of Pakachere IHDC) discuss the partnership and explore the importance of locally led development.
