OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Global Health 2050 — findings of The Lancet Commission on Investing in Health
Professor Jamison was trained in engineering at Stanford University and in economics at Harvard where he took his PhD under Kenneth Arrow. His career has been in academia and at the World Bank. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine of the US National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine.
The Lancet established a commission to examine, from an economics perspective, the value of investing in health and where the highest value investments in disease control and in health systems might lie. Chaired by former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, the commission published its third report, Global Health 2050, in The Lancet in October 2024. This seminar will overview GH 2050’s findings on trends in health globally and summarize its 7 key messages for policy.
