Center For International Development

Welcome to the Harvard Center for International Development’s Beyond COVID podcast. This podcast is a series of conversations with CID faculty experts on various key dimensions of COVID response and recovery. Our goal with these conversations, and with CID’s Beyond COVID research initiative, is to make use of lessons learned and capitalize on emergent innovations sparked by the pandemic in order to address losses and reimagine global development in the post-COVID era. On February 18, 2022, we were joined by Tarun Khanna, Jorge Paulo Lemann Professor at the Harvard Business School, Director of the Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute at Harvard, and Co-Chair of The Lancet Citizens’ Commission on Reimagining India’s Health System. CID Student Ambassador Devangana Rana sat down with Tarun to discuss his work with the Lancet Citizens’ Commission and more generally his insights on building resilient and equitable health systems.
