Manage episode 348790486 series 2950861
Dr. Karen Kotloff finds herself in remote areas of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia to help children survive diarrheal illnesses that we take for granted in the United States thanks to our health care system. Kotloff discusses what her work in global health looks like, in part thanks to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and explains why some countries continue to battle these illnesses. Kotloff is a professor in the University of Maryland School of Medicine’s Department of Pediatrics; head, Division of Infectious Disease and Tropical Pediatrics, and associate director of clinical studies, Center for Vaccine Development and Global Health; and a UMB Distinguished University Professor.
