Better health begins with ideas
Editors' Note This week a Think Global Health contributor takes a Juneteenth pledge, and two others see opportunities to improve the public health response to the coronavirus pandemic in Africa based on people's Google searches about the virus. One physician reports on her experiences working alongside Navajo doctors, nurses, and medical staff in the Navajo Nation, and we featured two pieces that offer different ideas on engaging the private sector in the pandemic.
