The National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) host NIA Director, Dr. Richard Hodes, and USAID Assistant Administrator for Global Health, Dr. Atul Gawande, to explore international perspectives on health, aging, and longevity.

The global population is aging, yet life expectancy varies greatly by country. Some have experienced increases in life expectancy, while others, such as the United States, have seen a decline. Drs. Hodes and Gawande will discuss how international perspectives on health and longevity help us to understand the drivers of healthy aging around the world.

Moderated by NIH Fogarty International Center Director, Dr. Kathleen Neuzil, this session will include live Q&A for in-person participants.
