Community Response to Emerging Infectious Diseases

Hosted in partnership with Partners In Health
In this session panelists will discuss engaging impacted communities in responses to infectious diseases, including to COVID-19, HIV, TB, Ebola, cholera, among others. From Boston to Haiti, Sierra Leone, Peru, Lesotho, and beyond, we’ll explore the importance and challenges of engaging trusted community leaders, of utilizing emergency response efforts to build essential services for establishing resilient health systems for the long term, and of centering care resource coordination and social supports at the heart of response efforts.
