ABC News Highlights DGHI's Work Around the World

ABC News and the Duke Global Health Institute are partners this year to raise awareness of and promote change on important global health issues through the initiative “Be the Change: Save a Life.”

For DGHI’s 5-year anniversary celebration on Monday October 3rd, ABC News helped the Institute put together a special video presentation which illustrates the important and diverse work being done at Duke to reduce health disparities and train the next generation of global health scholars. The video features ABC News’ Barbara Walters, Diane Sawyer and Dr. Richard Besser.
