Description

Just over 18 months ago, the World Health Organization officially declared an Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Experts are now taking stock of what worked and what didn’t, and analysing lessons learned. In this session, representatives from affected countries, the private sector, and international organizations explored the future of pandemic risk management, focusing on the power of data and communication, on the need to plan ahead and coordinate, and how to structure financial protection strategies in the future.
