TED English is online dialogues around TED talks! Each 45-minute session will feature a cool and informative TED Talk, coupled with Q & A and discussion about the meaning and language used in the talk. By joining this program you’ll get the opportunity to talk about vocabulary and grammar from the TED talk, react to the topic discussed in the talk, and interact with a huge community of people online through a discussion facilitated by America House’s very own English language Resident!
During this session we will discuss TED Talk by Ellen 't Hoen: Pool medical patents, save lives.
Patenting a new drug helps finance its immense cost to develop - but that same patent can put advanced treatments out of reach for sick people in developing nations, at deadly cost. Ellen 't Hoen talks about an elegant, working solution to the problem: the Medicines Patent Pool.
The event will be on Wednesday April 28th at 5:00 PM. The deadline to register is April 28th by 12:00 PM. Before the session you'll receive an email with the link to the online meeting.
