    • Abstract:
      The article profiles Mohammad Akhter, executive director of the American Public Health Association. As the executive director of the association, he has been informing the country regarding the need for cohesion and cooperation between public and private agencies, medical and public health communities, professional institutions and the public they exist to serve. An issue that continues to challenge Akhter is that of universal health coverage, which to him is instrumental to the success of any public health objectives. A brief summary of his personal life and career is provided.
