Reflections from Dr Stephanie Williams and Dr Lucas de Toca, Australia’s new Ambassador for Global Health

In the final episode of Contain This this season, we are joined by Australia’s Ambassador for Global Health, Dr Lucas de Toca PSM, and the former Ambassador for Regional Health Security, Dr Stephanie Williams, to reflect on how Australia delivers assistance for health in our region and what they see as the key challenges and priorities.

They discuss how Australia’s role in supporting our region to build resilient, equitable health systems has changed over the COVID-19 pandemic, the new International Development Policy and other recent changes, and how this will be reflected under the new Partnerships for a Healthy Region initiative.

Our speakers on this episode: 

• Dr Lucas de Toca, Australian Ambassador for Global Health
• Dr Stephanie Williams, former Ambassador for Regional Health Security

We encourage you to join the conversation on X at @AmbGlobalHealth.
