How do global policies shape the health of communities, even when health isn’t their primary focus? What happens when nations under pressure, like through sanctions, turn adversity into innovation? These questions ripple through every corner of our interconnected world, touching lives in ways we might not immediately see. Health isn’t just a matter of medicine. It’s an outcome woven into the fabric of every decision we make, from development projects to international relations.
In this episode of From Research to Impact, host Ann Elisabeth Samson is joined by Robert Huish, a 2004 Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation scholar and associate professor at Dalhousie University, for a conversation that bridges personal experience with global impact. Robert’s journey offers a compelling lens on how sanctions shape healthcare systems, and how countries like Cuba respond with resilience and ingenuity. Robert brings a wealth of experience, spanning from the healthcare system in Cuba to human rights in North Korea, all rooted in a passion for social justice. This discussion invites us to reflect critically on these connections and imagine how we might act to bridge the gaps they reveal.
This conversation is for anyone curious about international development, health equity, or the power of human ingenuity under pressure. Learn how health intersects with policy and why investing in people can defy even the toughest odds, leaving you inspired to think bigger about the world’s challenges and your place in addressing them.
