The Beat - The Task Force for Global Health

The Beat

‘Beat reporting’ is specialized, in-depth coverage of a particular issue, sector, or institution over time. At FACE, compassion and ethics is our beat, and we share our perspective on relevant events, reports, meetings, and research in global health.

Dr. Rina Mayela Ruiz Carbalo ,who has been a doctor since 2001, said, “People don’t need to be convinced. They want to do what keeps them healthy and their children healthy.” She works at Centro de Salud Grenanda and goes into the community once a week to see patients who cannot come to the clinic. The Partnership for Influenza Vaccine Introduction, a project of The Task Force for Global Health, is working with the Ministry of Health in Nicaragua to provide pregnant women and other high-risk groups with seasonal influenza vaccine.
