The connection between human rights and good health among some of the world's most impoverished and neglected women, and the Carter Center's public health initiatives, is the focus of this Conversations at The Carter Center event. Joanne Silberner, National Public Radio's health policy correspondent and Rosalynn Carter Fellow for Mental Health Journalism, moderates a panel discussion between Carter Center peace and health experts including Dr. Paul Emerson, director, Trachoma Control Program; Karin Ryan, director, Human Rights Program; and Elizabeth Cromwell, assistant director, Trachoma Control Program.
