Episode #19: Advancing Health Equity to build a healthier more inclusive world

On this episode of Life Sciences Connect podcast, we discuss these issues further with our panel of experts:

• John Haughey, Global Life Sciences and Healthcare Consulting Leader
• Sara Siegel, Deloitte’s UK and EMEA Head of Healthcare
• Dr Karen Kirkham, Chief Medical Officer and Lead Partner for Integration in Deloitte’s Health and Social Care team

And of course, our host, Karen Taylor, Research Director, Centre for Health Solutions, Deloitte
