| Summary: | Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank, discusses seeking transformative solutions to challenges
of development and poverty that are necessarily cross
disciplinary and what a great university should be doing. He
talks about the investments that developing countries can
make in the health and education of their people which will
help reduce extreme poverty in the countries. He speaks
about the importance of early childhood development. He
talks about stronger health systems in developing countries
that can extend the reach of doctors and nurses, and serve
as disease outbreak alert and response networks critical to
containing infections. He concludes by saying that the
pregnant woman who lives in a conflict zone should be
focused and we must do whatever it takes to support her so
that her newborn child will have a world of opportunity,
equal to that of any child in the world. |
