The U.S. opioid crisis, end-of-life, and palliative care are but some of the hot-button issues when considering U.S. health policy. We’ll talk about medications that you don’t have access to but that could save lives with Diederik Lohman, acting director of the Health and Human Rights Division at Human Rights Watch.
