Three years after the global pandemic and amid a season of increased attention on viral and respiratory illnesses, the world hungered for insights into the trajectory of the health care landscape.
Drawing on his extensive healthcare career and expertise, Makary delved into the future of health care policy. The sold-out event, held on Feb. 6, proved to be a momentous occasion as attendees explored what the health care system might look like in the next decade. As a member of the National Academy of Medicine and a former leader at the World Health Organization, Makary has been instrumental in reshaping health care. Currently serving as a professor and the chief of Islet Transplant Surgery at Johns Hopkins University, he leads an initiative focused on the “redesign of health care” to make it more reliable, more appropriate, and more affordable, especially for vulnerable populations.
