There are special voices that speak with a rare moral clarity, and one of those voices belongs to ATUL GAWANDE, MD, MPH, surgeon, and author of Being Mortal. He is also a passionate advocate for providing health care to the less fortunate, here and around the world. In early 2022, he left his surgery practice in Boston to lead the global health efforts of the United States Agency for International Development (U.S.A.I.D.), an organization that is estimated to have saved 92 million lives—many of them children—over two decades, and has now been shuttered by the current president. In conversation with National Book Award-winning author EVAN OSNOS, Gawande will take us to the front lines of the countries now reeling with preventable diseases and deaths from the many maladies like malaria and malnutrition and remind us what it means to care—and the costs, literal and moral, of not caring.
