EP157 From New York to Abu Dhabi: Global Health Leadership with Priya Kanayson
Thursday, 19 December, 2024
In this episode we speak with Priya Kanayson (MPH '14) whose career has taken her from New York City to Abu Dhabi, where she is now a leader in global health policy. As Director of Advocacy and Communications at the Global Institute for Disease Elimination (GLIDE) and a founding member of the UAE’s Women in Global Health organization, Priya works on innovative strategies to eliminate diseases like malaria, polio, and neglected tropical diseases. She discusses the unique challenges of building a global health hub outside the traditional centers in the U.S. and Europe, highlights the importance of addressing vector-borne diseases due to climate change, and offers insights into navigating cultural and professional dynamics across borders. Priya’s story of embracing risk, expanding her policy expertise, and advocating for health equity on a global scale is a powerful inspiration for aspiring public health professionals.
