The continuing advancements in public health and medicine have drastically reduced the burden of infectious diseases, yet many are now resurfacing in ways that challenge healthcare systems worldwide. The return of diseases once thought to be controlled, combined with the emergence of new threats, highlights the urgent need for global preparedness, practice, and strategic policy responses.
This week, our speakers are renowned experts from the CDC, WHO, and NAID who will share their invaluable insights on infectious diseases. Their expertise offers a deeper understanding on the implications outbreaks can have and the effect on different populations with varying severity. The disproportionate impacts on vulnerable communities magnify the importance of global coordination and health equity, evident from the Covid-19 pandemic and HIV/AIDS epidemic. We will learn about how we as scientists, policy makers, and concerned individuals can work together to control and eliminate outbreaks as well addressing health inequities faced in healthcare.
