Two doctors, (one who works in Egypt and one in the U.S.) talk about health inequities. In Egypt life expectancy for people with CF is 8 years old, it’s 50 years old in the U.S. Why? Dr. Eman Fouda works at Ain Shams University in Egypt. She is a Professor of Pediatrics. Also on this podcast is Dr. Samya Nasr, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Michigan Hospital and Director of the CF Clinic. Dr. Nasr has helped diagnose 1,000 CF patients. She hopes to diagnose 10,000 more over the next few years.
