📷 Profiles in Global Health #4 - "Why do millions of people still die of preventable and treatable illnesses?" In this photo interview series I highlight some of the team mates I draw inspiration from at Community Health Impact Coalition. I hope this gives you an insight into who they are & what inspires them to work in global health. Enjoy. ------ Name: Laura Cordier Organisation: Pivot Works, Inc. What inspires you to work in Global Health? "This is a question that drives me everyday: Why do millions of people still die of preventable and treatable illnesses? I am passionate about trying to move that needle - from a child having access to life saving routine vaccination to a mother being able to safely deliver in a dignified space. Until then, we have work to do." Who has been the biggest influence to date in your career? "Paul Farmer has had a remarkable influence on my career. His vision always spoke to me, which is why when Pivot was created as a mission organization to Partners In Health, I jumped at the opportunity to join the team. I was able to align my data science skillset to an area of work I was passionate about." One book or article you would recommend to anyone interested in learning more about global health? "Mountains beyond Moutains" by Paul Farmer. Fun fact : I applied for my master's degree at the London School of Hygiene and Public Health a week after reading that book." One bit of advice you would give to someone interested in working in global health? "You need to enter the space with the absolute humility that you do not have all the answers and that you need to create space to learn and to do the work with the community that you are serving - but not just on paper, with actual, candid and radical intention. Someone interested in global health today needs to be ready to shape the future of global health." What do you enjoy about working with Community Health Impact Coalition? "CHIC is aiming to change the status quo of global health - especially around community health workers. It's an honor to be on that journey."
