Our Projects

Events

  • Pandemic Preparedness and Response Conversation Series: Each month we bring in scientists, doctors and researchers to talk about their work in the field. Through this series, we aim to connect leaders in public health and ensure that pandemic preparedness and health equity are part of the broader conversation.
  • Pandemic Preparedness Priorities in Latin America: Lessons Learned from COVID-19: This virtual symposium identified key public health priorities necessary to prepare for a post-pandemic world. It also strengthened multisectoral partnerships and fostered interdisciplinary collaboration to prepare and respond to future pandemics in the region.
