As viral diseases both new and old ravage countries across the world, does the growing distrust of physicians, and the healthcare industry at large, have a more profound effect on treatment than most realize?

In this episode of CareTalk, Dr. Tyler Evans (CEO & Co-Founder, Wellness and Equity Alliance) joins hosts, John Driscoll and David E. Williams, to discuss the issue of healthcare inequality facing marginalized people groups across the globe, the impact a grassroots connection to a local community can have on the distribution of life-saving medicines, and the struggle to win back trust in a sea of conflicting ideology.
