Reforming the Global Public Health Regime: Asian Perspectives
Wednesday, April 14, 2021
8:00 - 10:00 AM U.S. Eastern Daylight Time
Register for this event

About the event:
The human and economic toll of COVID-19 has focused attention like never before on the inadequacies of the global health regime. Nations, multinational organizations, and global finance may be receptive to proposals to take public health more seriously. Asia has arguably enjoyed more success than any other region of the world in controlling the pandemic. Our panel of experts from Asia will share their ideas about how the world community should harness the emergency to improve the way global public health programs are organized and funded, both to address longstanding problems of health inequality and insecurity and prepare for future pandemics.
