Episode 7: Dr. Eli Cahan on "the Climate Change of Medicine"
Welcome back to Infectious Conversations – a podcast from the Partnership to Fight Infectious Disease. In our latest episode, PFID's Vice President of Policy and Advocacy, Candace DeMatteis, sits down with Dr. Eli Cahan. Dr. Cahan is a pediatrician, an academic researcher, and an award-winning investigative journalist. Candace and Dr. Cahan discussed his recent feature in Rolling Stone titled, "Could a Conflict-Borne Superbug Bring on Our Next Pandemic?" and the argument that AMR is "the climate change of medicine," with drug-resistant bacterial infections on track to claim more than 39 million lives over the next 25 years, per a recent study published in The Lancet.
