In this seminar, co-authors Steven P. Wallace, associate director of the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, Michael Rodriguez, director of the Blum Center on Poverty and Health in Latin America, and Maria-Elena Young, a Center graduate student researcher, discuss the report's findings. The report was produced in collaboration with the UC Global Health Institute.
