LONDON—A new global network of scientists has been set up with the goal of helping all countries control infectious diseases. Instead of focussing on specific illnesses the Research Network For Health Systems And Infection — based at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine — concentrates specifically on improving health-care delivery systems. Mr Greg Reilly and Professor Anne Mills of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine join Professor David Heymann, Chair of the UK Health Protection Agency (and former Representative of the Director-General for Polio Eradication – World Health Organization) to tell Sarah Maxwell about the paramount importance of organising excellent health systems as a pre-requisite for establishing health for all.

Produced in collaboration with London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Audio News-LSHTM Podcast, this series from Audio Medica delves into the complex and urgent world of global health. Rather than offering simple summaries, each episode unpacks the research and real-world implications behind critical policy decisions, from pandemic preparedness and vaccine equity to tackling non-communicable diseases and climate-related health threats. You'll hear directly from the School's researchers, field experts, and policy architects as they break down their findings and discuss the tangible impacts on communities worldwide. The conversations are grounded in the rigorous science for which LSHTM is renowned, yet presented with clarity for anyone invested in the future of public health. This podcast serves as an essential audio briefing for professionals, students, and engaged citizens who want to move beyond headlines and understand the evidence shaping our collective well-being. Tune in for thoughtful, authoritative discussions that connect academic excellence with the pressing health challenges of our time.
