In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Hussain Lalani, Primary Care Physician and Fellow at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. His research focuses on understanding the challenges patients face to accessing affordable and equitable healthcare and evaluating the impact of policies and interventions, especially as it relates to the complexities of prescription drug pricing. We discussed his background, thoughts on current trends in healthcare delivery, and his efforts throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to build healthier communities and combat health misinformation.

Conversation with Edwin Park

Healthcare is constantly evolving, from the way we develop lifesaving treatments to how care is delivered. There's no better example of this than during the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to make our healthcare system more affordable, accessible, and high-quality for all, it is important to better understand how the system currently works and can be improved in addition to new ideas to promote our own health and wellbeing. In the Understanding Healthcare podcast, Sam Feudo speaks with leaders in academia, business, and government about the most important healthcare issues of our time.
