I qualified in physiology and medicine with honours from the University of Birmingham in 1986. I joined The Lancet in 1990, moving to New York as North American Editor in 1993. In 2016, I chaired the Expert Group for the High Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth, convened by Presidents Hollande of France and Zuma of South Africa. From 2011 to 2015, I was co-chair of the UN's independent Expert Review Group on Information and Accountability for Women's and Children's Health. In 2011, I was elected a Foreign Associate of the US Institute of Medicine and, in 2015, I received the Friendship Award from the Government of China. In 2019 I was awarded the WHO Director-General’s Health Leaders Award for outstanding leadership in global health and the Roux Prize in recognition of innovation in the application of global health evidence. I now work to develop the idea of planetary health—the health of human civilizations and the ecosystems on which they depend. In 2020, I published The COVID-19 Catastrophe: What’s Gone Wrong and How to Stop It Happening Again. A revised, updated, and expanded second edition was published in 2021.
