Global Good Adds New Leaders to Global Health Technologies Team

Global Health Technologies Team

Dr. Peter Small, Senior Director

Dr. Peter Small has a deep understanding of the potential for technology to drastically improve health care delivery in low- and middle-income countries, coming to Global Good from a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship focused on the topic. Peter was a chief medical resident at the University of California, San Francisco at the dawn of the HIV epidemic, and subsequently moved to Stanford University where he completed an Infectious Disease fellowship and spent approximately a decade in Stanford’s Infectious Disease Division. During these years, he published pioneering molecular epidemiological papers that helped shape the public health response to the resurgence of tuberculosis (TB) and seminal papers on mycobacterial genomics. 

In 2002, Peter was one of the first employees of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation where he developed the Foundation’s TB strategy, built its core partnerships and country programs, hired and managed the Foundation’s TB team, and oversaw a large portfolio of vaccine, drug, and diagnostic product development activities. In 2011, he relocated his family to New Delhi, where he established the Foundation’s TB program in India. In 2015, Peter joined Stony Brook University as the Founding Director of the University-wide Global Health Institute focused on the use of technology to deliver health care in remote Madagascar and Nepal.

Dr. Puneet Dewan, Primary Health Care Lead

An internist trained at the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of Washington, Dr. Puneet Dewan started his career in global health delivery with the US Centers for Disease Control as an epidemic intelligence service officer, then with the San Francisco Tuberculosis (TB) Control Section. From 2006-2012, he supported the expansion of basic TB program services into a comprehensive patient-centered care system with the World Health Organization’s Southeast Asia regional office. From 2012-2018, Puneet led the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s India TB delivery program, which helped India pioneer innovative private sector delivery models and guided development of technological tools to make these solutions scalable. During this time, he helped the Indian government create a financing strategy to scale these new tools and services nationwide. Puneet more recently served as a senior technical advisor to the World Bank, supporting results-based financing to encourage verified scale-up of these delivery models.
