Rethinking Global Health Threats and Responses: H5N1, Mpox, Measles, Marburg, Climate, Zoonoses, and Emerging Risks
Keynotes
- Pandemic vs. endemic priorities: What’s missing from the global agenda? – Are we too fixated on future pandemics while ignoring the growing threats of endemic infectious diseases (e.g., TB, dengue, H5N1)?
- Climate-driven disease risks: Are we accurately predicting which pathogens will surge due to climate change? (e.g., vector-borne diseases like malaria vs. less-discussed threats). How can we better anticipate less obvious threats?
- How should we be investing in surveillance and R&D? – What innovations (AI, genomics, forecasting) actually have the potential to get ahead of the next crisis?
- How do we ensure that disease prioritisation is driven by science, not politics? – What structural and policy shifts are needed to avoid repeating past mistakes?
- Are we adequately investing in diagnostic capabilities for future threats, or are we overly focused on vaccines and treatments? How can improved diagnostic strategies enhance our ability to detect and respond to emerging threats quickly?
- How can we improve international collaboration in disease surveillance, research, and response while addressing geopolitical challenges and ensuring equitable access to resources?
