‘Global experts will provide their assessment of the current status of global pandemic preparedness and response. The session will set the scene for what could be possible within the pandemic preparedness sphere with sufficient funding, political will, and international collaboration – particularly within the context of equitable access, the 100 Days Mission, and global disease surveillance.’
‘The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated radical advances in our global disease surveillance systems but it also highlighted critical gaps. This panel brings together leading global, regional and national disease surveillance experts to highlight the “state of disease surveillance”, including progress, opportunities and remaining capacity gaps in integrating multi-sectoral approaches (e.g. One Health). Panellists will explore areas where renewed action would strengthen disease surveillance from the local to global level.’
‘The 100 Days Mission is a crucial ambition in the wake of COVID-19’s profound global impact. This session will explore the technological advances that have been made that can enable faster diagnostic, therapeutic, and vaccine development. It will highlight where collaboration between 100 Days Mission pillars can help drive further catalytic change and discuss ongoing challenges and opportunities to achieving the 100 Days Mission goals, including equitable access to innovations, biosecurity and AI, regulatory and beyond.’
‘This panel will explore how local and regional production can contribute to the wider issue of achieving equitable access during outbreaks and pandemics and discuss how regional health technology production is likely to evolve in the coming decade. Panellists will explore the emerging regional and international initiatives to strengthen manufacturing capacity and capability in the Global South and identify gaps, opportunities and areas for closer collaboration across sectors, countries and regions.’
‘This session will reflect on the WHO’s renewed pathogen family strategy, discussing how researchers and organizations can strengthen a collaborative and equitable approach at national, regional and global levels. It will identify potential gaps, what collaborations already exist, and what new actions need to be taken so that the world can expand access to scientific and technological tools for researchers around the world and enable equitable access.’
‘As the world monitors the evolution of H5N1 influenza, this session will reflect on what we’re learning about influenza in the context of preparing for a 100 days-like response. The expert panel will explore how ready the world is to deliver an equitable response to an influenza pandemic, what we could and should be doing now to prepare, and what strategies can be deployed to ensure that human, animal, and environmental health sectors collaborate to tackle zoonotic influenza outbreaks.’
