Dr. Solomon Zewdu is based in South Africa and he says the thing that struck him most this General Assembly is that global health leaders are "talking in silos." "We're not hearing each other," he says. Some are having conversations about how dependent countries are on aid, while others are lamenting the cuts. "But now, what's the next step? Let's move on. There's urgency. Time kills people," he says.
