In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Hanan Balkhy - all the way from Geneva, Switzerland. Dr. Balkhy is currently the Assistant Director-General for Antimicrobial Resistance at the World Health Organization, once a Clevelander, and always a leader in the field. We discuss the role of WHO on the global stage, the effect of COVID-19 on antimicrobial research and development, and the "infodemic" in the face of a public health crisis.
