About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with an expert in global health policy. Can you tell us about the Postgraduate Certificate in Health Economics and Diplomacy?

It's ideal for policymakers, healthcare leaders, and international relations professionals. HOST: That sounds fascinating. How has your experience been, blending these two seemingly different fields?

HOST: Those are critical issues indeed. Are there any challenges you face when teaching or learning this subject? GUEST: Yes, sometimes it can be challenging to balance economic theory with practical diplomacy. But seeing students apply these concepts to real-world scenarios makes it all worthwhile. HOST: It certainly does. Looking forward, where do you see the future of health economics and diplomacy? GUEST: I believe we'll see more multi-sectoral collaborations, data-driven decision-making, and a stronger emphasis on preparing future leaders for complex global health challenges. HOST: That's inspiring and gives us much to look forward to in this field. Thank you for joining us today and sharing your insights! GUEST: My pleasure. Thanks for having me!
