Changes after COVID-19: Science academies discuss global health approaches for future pandemics
The coronavirus pandemic put healthcare systems around the world under enormous strain and revealed weaknesses when it comes to managing global health crises. Healthcare inequalities, gaps in data sharing and in healthcare monitoring as well as the impacts on tackling other infectious diseases such as HIV or tuberculosis all emphasised the necessity of international cooperation and interdisciplinary approaches in preparing for pandemics. In an international virtual panel discussion of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in cooperation with the national science academies from South Africa, Senegal and Ethiopia, experts will discuss questions concerning global healthcare policy and pandemic prevention. We cordially invite you to this event on Tuesday 14 May and would appreciate an announcement of this date in your medium.
