Millions of people-most of them children-die each year in developing countries from diseases that are preventable and treatable. Tragically little research is done to prevent or cure some of the world’s biggest killers, such as malaria and tuberculosis.
Dr. Yamada, President of the Global Health Program, presents insights into The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's priorities and funding (an endowment now exceeding over $60B) for disease prevention and affordable health solutions. He speaks to the Foundation’s initiatives to help develop lifesaving medical advances (vaccines, drugs and affordable health solutions) that will ensure they reach the people who are disproportionately affected.

HBS Professor Michael Porter is a leading authority on competitive strategy and the competitiveness of nations and regions. Professor Porter recently published Redefining Healthcare which provides a framework to diagnose and solve dysfunctional competition in health care. Professor Porter addresses proposed strategies to reform health care by reforming the nature of health care competition itself, including action steps for all industry sectors.
Aetna’s Ron Williams and Kaiser’s George Halvorson serve on the reactor panel to debate the competitiveness framework proposed by Professor Porter. Mr. Williams gives insights into the realities of health care competition as an industry guru who has built his reputation in turning around failing companies. He now leads Aetna’s rapid growth in an intensely competitive industry. Mr. Halvorson challenges Porter’s framework of value-based competition leading to quality and efficiency improvements. Mr. Halvorson leads the nation’s largest integrated delivery system which heavily invested in health IT and chronic care methods to provide efficiencies.
