Health Security in a Disordered World

Monday, August 6, 2018 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
University of Washington, Kane Hall, Room 210, 4069 Spokane Lane, Seattle, WA, 98105

In today’s world, chronic wars and unstable and fragile states have proliferated, giving rise to over 65 million refugees and displaced persons. This has brought forward ever more urgent needs to detect and control disease outbreaks, ensure reproductive, maternal, and child health services, sustain immunizations, and protect against violence. How is the United States to lead in meeting these critical health security needs?

On Monday, August 6 from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm PT at the University of Washington, Seattle, WA, the CSIS Commission on Strengthening America’s Health Security will host a public event on U.S. leadership in meeting the burgeoning health needs of vulnerable populations living in the midst of conflict and disorder. The event is held in collaboration with the University of Washington Department of Global Health, PATH, the Washington Global Health Alliance, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
