Ending HIV/AIDS in our lifetime with Joanna Bichsel
We have all known now about HIV/AIDS since the 80’s with well known people such as Rock Hudson and Freddie Mercury having died from the disease. Billions of dollars have been invested over the last 2 plus decades investing in government and civil society solutions. Many people in the west think that HIV/AIDS has gone away and even though we have made incredible strides to get it under control, it still takes thousands of lives every year and we see new infections daily. On this show we talk to Joanna Bichsel, the Founder and CEO of African based purpose driven firm Kasha on what it will take to finally end HIV. AIDS disproportionately effects people in Subsaharan Africa however the good news is that the solutions and technology are now in place to actually see the end of the HIV pandemic in our lifetime. This is known as "last mile health" and many might be interested in the fact that a lot of those solutions are within the private sector.
