Season 1 - Episode 9 - Stephen Mugel

While vaccines and drugs are key in the control of infectious diseases, healthy living conditions are crucial too. In this episode of the Virulent Vortex, Stephen Mugel explains how clean water, non-polluting cooking stoves and bed nets are key to controlling child health in rural and low-income areas. As he argues, giving children access to this infrastructure can go a long way in reducing diarrheal disease, malaria and lower respiratory infections.
