The eminent physician is once again at the centre of controversy, not least for choosing to invoke the Fifth Amendment rather than answer questions. Guido Poli, immunologist at the San Raffaele Hospital and president of Patto Trasversale per la Scienza, who worked with him for many years, recalls in this article Tony Fauci’s battles in the history of American and international public health, from AIDS to the pandemic. The image is taken from the footage (public domain) of A. Fauci’s hearing on 29 July 2026 before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.","url":"/en/articoli/my-portrait-of-anthony-fauci/","category":"global-health","date":"2026-08-05","author":"Guido Poli","tags":[]},{"title":"Italy and Cuba: the right to health is a common founding principle","summary":"From Article 32 of the Italian Constitution to Article 72 of the Cuban Constitution, the universal right to health provides the common ground on which Italy and Cuba have built - despite profoundly different political and economic contexts - healthcare systems based on primary care, prevention, and community-based services.
