Event: Learning from the Covid-19 global vaccine rollout: how can we prevent future pandemics?
On 8th March the UK hosted the global Summit on Global Pandemic Preparedness, bringing together partners to raise over $1.5 billion for the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and work towards building a better, safer world.
Join us for this event with CEPI CEO, Dr Richard Hatchett, to reflect on the CEPI Summit and discuss what is needed now to end the Covid-19 pandemic everywhere and protect us from future pandemics. We will also hear from Dr Phanuel Tawanda Gwinji, a medical professional who has worked in Afghanistan, South Sudan and Zimbabwe, on his experience of responding to Covid-19 on the frontline.
Given the interconnected nature of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), tackling the risk of future pandemics and improving global health is important not just to achieve SDG3: Good Health and Wellbeing, but also many other SDGs. It is also important that we reduce the spread of Covid-19 globally to ensure that we keep British people safe from variants that could overwhelm the NHS.
Speakers:
Dr Richard Hatchett, CEO of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI)
Dr Phanuel Tawanda Gwinji, Frontline medical professional
The event will be chaired by Theo Clarke MP, Chair of the APPG on UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development.
