HC for Humans: Caring Across Borders: Navigating the Complexities of Transnational Care Collectives

Host Raj Sundar is joined by guest Tanja Ahlin, a researcher and anthropologist, to explore the concept of good care in the context of chronic illness and care collectives. They discuss the limitations of healthcare systems' metrics for measuring success in chronic illness care and emphasize the importance of finding individualized approaches that go beyond clinical outcomes. They delve into the role of technology in facilitating care at a distance, particularly in transnational care collectives, where families use tools like mobile phones and webcams to support each other. The episode also touches on the undervalued nature of informal care, the impact of gender and wage gaps in caregiving, and the significance of material factors and power dynamics in care practices. Overall, the conversation challenges traditional notions of care and highlights the need for a more holistic and inclusive approach in healthcare.
