Atul Gawande on Haven, USAID, longevity

Atul Gawande, the renowned surgeon and author, has shifted his focus beyond U.S. health care to global issues, ten years after the release of his groundbreaking book “Being Mortal.” Speaking at the 2024 STAT Summit in Boston, Gawande emphasized the importance of trust in public health agencies, which is closely tied to trust in government. He highlighted the decline in trust in governments worldwide as a significant problem that surpasses the issues in health care.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Gawande has called for a shift towards a long-term, global strategy in public health rather than just managing one emergency after another. His perspective on this matter has been shaped by his experiences over the last four years as the assistant administrator for global health at the U.S. Agency for International Development, where he dealt with public health crises in various countries.

Reflecting on his time as CEO of Haven, a health venture involving Amazon, JPMorgan Chase, and Berkshire Hathaway, Gawande acknowledged the challenges faced in addressing escalating costs and subpar patient outcomes. Despite stepping down as CEO in 2020 and the company folding in 2021, he emphasized the need for a holistic approach to health care reform that involves both public and private sector collaboration.

Gawande’s current focus revolves around addressing disparities in life expectancy worldwide, a theme that resonates with his earlier work on end-of-life care. He emphasized the importance of understanding patients’ priorities and not just extending their lifespan. Whether it’s making decisions about wearing a mask or undergoing chemotherapy, Gawande stressed the need to consider what individuals are willing to sacrifice for the sake of more time.

As Gawande continues to navigate the complex landscape of global health, his insights and experiences serve as valuable lessons for shaping future strategies in public health and health care reform.
