Over the past four years, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted daily life, placed a heavy burden on healthcare systems worldwide and highlighted glaring inequalities in the management of global health crises. It has revealed significant gaps in disease surveillance and data sharing and highlighted the urgent need to strengthen global health research. The strategy of intensive containment of the COVID-19 pandemic has often been at the expense of tackling other infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV, leading to fragmented and nationally focussed solutions.
The need for a more equitable and coherent global health strategy, particularly with regard to preparing for and responding to future pandemics, is clear. The webinar "Initiating Change: A global health approach in the wake of pandemics" o will bring together experts from national and international health bodies, policymakers and the pharmaceutical industry to discuss the pressing issues of global health policy and pandemic prevention. In particular, the focus is on ensuring equitable access to medicines and vaccines, promoting global health research and improving surveillance and data exchange mechanisms. It is based on the conference report "Global Health Approach for Infectious Diseases - A Proposal for the Next Decade", a joint publication of the national academies of Ethiopia (EAS), Germany (Leopoldina), Senegal (ANSTS) and South Africa (ASSAf), which emerged from the workshop "Infectious Diseaseas beyond COVID-19" on 23-24 May 2023 in Berlin (weblink).
