Summary:
We dive into the enduring impacts of historical events on healthcare perceptions and practices, particularly focusing on the Marshallese and Afghan communities affected by latent tuberculosis (TB). Host Raj Sundar and guests including Disney, Jasmine, Duncan Reid, and Franky explore themes such as cultural literacy in healthcare, the influence of past military activities and nuclear tests on community health, and the critical role of education in overcoming health-related stigmas.
