Video: The Future of Public Health and Global Collaboration
Public health experts, industry leaders, and practitioners share their thoughts on the future of public health and how global collaboration can shape an outcome beneficial to us all.

In this wide ranging conversation, we hear from two China Centers for Disease Control veterans, from a public health specialist who previously headed World Health Organization health systems office for the Western Pacific, a physician and public health data innovator, and an epidemiologist with decades of experience working in the private sector. They look at what the current covid-19 crisis reveals about American and Chinese public health care systems, about communication between the two countries, and about what can be done to increase system readiness and resilence. In addition to threats posed by infectious diseases, the panel also examined efforts on chronic diseases and changing unhealthy behaviors.
