GLC Highlight
Celebrating the Leadership and Impact of our DrPH Students
DrPH student Natalia Houghton, who also serves as PAHO Technical Officer for Primary Health Care Policy, Planning and Evaluation, co-chaired the World Bank–PAHO Lancet Regional Health Americas Commission report, “No time to wait: resilience as a cornerstone for primary health care across Latin America and the Caribbean.” We also celebrate our DrPH alumna Esther Aranda, DrPH, MPH, MCP, AICP, who contributed as a member of the Commission Secretariat through her work as a consultant with PAHO.
This landmark report delivers a timely message: as governments and communities across Latin America and the Caribbean face persistent health shocks and systemic barriers, resilient PHC-based systems are both essential and achievable.
