Susana Orrego Villegas, MD MMSc ‘23 gave a great talk on Thursday, September 17, on climate change and universal health care with a focus on Latin America. Students enjoyed learning more about this topic and meeting Susana. Susana encouraged students to work hard on their studies and also to make the most of their time in Boston, MA during the program. Susana definitely did this - she both produced excellent academic work and made time to attend concerts and events and made lots of friends in the area. She stayed after the talk to speak to students individually, and so we could get a group photo of Susana and some of the students who joined the talk.

Thank you, Susana, for planning a stop in Boston during your trip to the US and for giving the talk! We are lucky to have such talented and committed alumni in our program!

Join us for this Alumni In Action talk with Susana Orrego Villegas, MD, MMSc '23

➡️ Can Universal Health Coverage Survive a Changing Planet?
Lessons from Colombia and Latin America

In this talk, Dr. Orrego Villegas will explore how a changing planet is creating new challenges for health systems. Today, health systems are not only responding to infectious and non-communicable diseases, but also to increasingly unpredictable weather, environmental degradation, pressure on natural resources, and other planetary changes that directly and indirectly affect population health and the capacity of health systems to respond.

Dr. Orrego Villegas is a physician whose work sits at the intersection of value-based care models, epidemiology, data, risk management, global health, and planetary health. She is currently a full professor at EAFIT University, where she teaches about health quality and global health, with a focus on Latin American health systems and their main challenges. She is especially interested in how the climate crisis, inequalities, and social changes are redefining health risks.

Dr. Orrego Villegas graduated from the HMS Master of Medical Sciences in Global Health Delivery program in 2023.

This talk is organized by the Harvard Medical School Master of Medical Sciences in Global Health delivery program

Dawnn Pauline Bituin, MD, MMSc ‘26 had her thesis “‘Why Can’t She Just Leave?’: Pathways of Liberation from Intimate Partner Violence, a Mixed Methods Study in Mabinay, Negros Oriental, Philippines” featured in the August 2026 Mass General Brigham OB-GYN Global newsletter.

For this thesis, Dawnn and her research team used a mixed-methods approach to explore women’s multifaceted pathways to liberation from intimate partner violence (IPV) including psychosocial, physical, and legal separation. They examined how sociodemographic and partner characteristics, forms of abuse, and support systems influence women’s journeys toward freedom, complemented by in-depth interviews capturing their lived experiences and perspectives.

This past week we welcomed the incoming students to campus. We had several zoom orientations over the summer, so it was great to meet everyone in person! The Harvard Medical School Department of Global Health and Social Medicine hosts two masters programs: the Harvard Medical School Master of Medical Sciences in Global Health Delivery and the Harvard Medical School Master of Science in Media, Medicine, and Health. We hosted orientation sessions for each program individually and also team building exercises for both programs. These are some photos from our Friday team building sessions, a fun way to get to know each other!

Alum Galal Elshishiney, MBBS, MMSc ‘22 is the Head of the Central Administration for Healthcare Quality at the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population. Galal was in Boston for an education program and stopped by to say hello to the new students during our orientation lunch. He talked about his MMSc-GHD thesis project “Among the Egyptian Population, Identifying and Understanding the Causes of Change in Mortality Among Non-COVID-19 Patients in Comparison with the Previous Year's Records”. He discussed how he built on that project and expanded it to a larger project for his PhD dissertation.

When asked what advice he had for students, he said to plan a thesis with a reasonable scope and focus on developing knowledge about research methodology. He said once you know the research methodology, you can develop a larger-scale project in the future.

We are grateful to Galal for stopping by and for offering this excellent advice to our new students!
