Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Maria Antonieta Alcalde Castro and Kinza Hasan at Women Deliver 2026 in Melbourne/Naarm
Q: Could you tell us about Kinza Hasan's role and what the Women Deliver conference and the Feminist Health Systems Charter mean in this moment?
Kinza explains her leadership role and the advocacy aims of Women Deliver, including the Melbourne Declaration and the Feminist Health Systems Charter, which position human rights-based health systems as central to policy reform and accountability.
Maria Antonieta Alcalde Castro and Kinza Hasan at Women Deliver 2026 in Melbourne/Naarm

Maria Antonieta Alcalde Castro and Kinza Hasan at Women Deliver 2026 in Melbourne/Naarm
Q: What changes have you noticed from the 1990s to the present in sexual and reproductive health and rights, and how has the movement evolved?

Maria Antonieta Alcalde Castro and Kinza Hasan at Women Deliver 2026 in Melbourne/Naarm
Q: Could you talk a little bit about your background and how you came to the Director General role at IPPF?
Maria Antonieta describes a path from grassroots youth activism in Mexico to leadership roles within IPPF, highlighting years of advocacy for abortion rights, LGBTQ inclusivity, and reproductive health, culminating in her Director General position and a broadened global perspective on SRHR.
Madhukar Pai on tuberculosis
Q: Could you summarize the Tuberculogenic Environment and why social determinants matter for TB control?
The Tuberculogenic Environment frames TB risk as shaped by the surrounding social, economic, and policy environment, not just biology. Poverty, poor nutrition, overcrowding, and weak social protections create conditions that enable transmission, worsen disease, and keep people vulnerable. Addressing these upstream factors through social protection and universal health coverage is essential for meaningful TB control and broader health gains.
