I live in this neighborhood for about two years now and im used to the sound of the elevator train and up the streets the cars that are around. And where the kids play. Some people might think its colorful, you know . But when you live here you call it something else, because it doesnt look good or smell good or feel good. Especially not when youre sick. Not when your body hurts. And you want to make it well. It took a while, but weve got a good answer to sickness in this part of new york. Its part of a new idea thats going on in other cities too. You know . All over the country. Here in the bronx, we call it the Montefiore Health center where people from my neighborhood can come and have their sickness treated and their hurt made well. You are entering a new world of health care. It draws upon the same science and uses the same instruments and equipment that helped services traditionally do, but in the philosophy its different in startling and significant ways. Here in the montefiore
Some people i think, its colorful. It doesnt look good or smell good or feel good and the neighborhood. Especially not for the sick, or when your body hurts. But we have a good answer to sickness in this part of new york. It is part of a new idea. All over the country here in the bronx week we call it the Neighborhood Health center. Yuck people from my neighborhood can come and have their sickness treated. You are entering the new world of health care. We use the same science and instrument equipment, it is different than some startling ensign significant ways.

Good afternoon. Eyeing the dean of the Institute School of Public Health and im delighted to have everyone join us today for this discussion. We have the author of an incredibly important book here, rosemary gibson. Her book is the topic of a dramatic shift in where our madisons come from. China looks at the position as a pharmacy of the world. I think any of us in the Public Health profession have been unaware of the shift. We may notice on time but there are shortages and contamination issues and other problems but i think that it is we have not been aware there is a systematic issue, a major change in the system for manufacturing pharmaceuticals. The implications of one country and the supply of medicines were astounding no matter what country we may be talking about. Think about it. What if there is a Global Pandemic and its hard to lose products across the world. But if there are heightened tensions within the South China Sea. Everyone could be vulnerable and put at risk.

What if theres a Global Pandemic and its hard to move product across the world because of that . What if there are heightened tensions within the South China Sea .

The role of the fda in this situation cannot be overstated because the fda cannot be effective in ensuring the safety of the medicines in the farflung regions of the world as a can at home. Many of us are not aware of the face to face contact that the fda has with those who are manufacturing our drugs.
