Africa-Asia Roundtable – Pandemics: Surveillance, Preparedness, and Response
May 19 @ 7:00 am - 9:00 pm
Over two days, we will convene four panels to further explore questions around vaccines and vaccine development, technology transfer, capacity building, and global cooperation strategies for combating pandemics. What lessons can the world learn from Africa’s response to previous epidemics/pandemics including Ebola and HIV/AIDS and the current COVID-19 pandemic? What is the role of global cooperation between Africa-Asia, and China-India-Africa in particular? Is the COVID-19 crisis and response, including vaccine development and distribution, an opportunity for a new era of global cooperation?
Speakers include:
Dr. George Gao, Director, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention
UK-PHRST Research Fellow in Mental Health
The UK-Public Health Rapid Support Team (UK-PHRST) is co-led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and Public Health England (PHE), funded by UK government Overseas Development Aid with a triple remit of response, research and capacity development for outbreaks in low and middle income countries.
The main purpose of the post is to support the implementation and continued development of the UK-PHRST’s emerging mental health programme. To do this, the post holder will work with UK-PHRST colleagues, the Centre for Global Mental Health at LSHTM, and colleagues in Global Mental Health at Public Health England.
