Fast forward: How to prevent future pandemics?

Hosted by the SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Heath Institute (SDGHI), this is the third part of a 3 part webinar series titled "COVID-19: Looking Back and Looking Forward". The world’s attention is understandably focused on how to manage the current pandemic; this webinar series shifts the focus to examine the broader question of WHY such a virus originated in the first place and what can we collectively do to prevent future occurrences. This final session “Fast forward: How to prevent future pandemics?” explores building resilience and how international bodies like the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and others mitigate risks, coordinate responses and plan for the future.
