Leading Australia’s Global Health with Dr Lucas de Toca (Global Health Ambassador) | Episode 12
Description
What does it really take to protect people’s health on a global scale — and why does it matter to each of us? In this episode, I sit down with Dr Lucas de Toca, Australia’s Ambassador for Global Health, to unpack what health equity means in practice, how we can work together during crises, and what lessons we can’t afford to ignore after COVID-19.
Dr de Toca shares stories from the frontlines — from coordinating vaccinations in remote communities to representing Australia in international negotiations — and explains how everyday people, especially young people, can play a bigger role than they might think.
We talk pandemics, politics, climate change, and what gives him hope for a fairer, healthier future. If you’re curious about how global health decisions ripple into your own backyard — and what you can do to help shape them — this is an episode for you.
