Arboviruses: Shaking or shaping the future of global health
As vector-borne health threats and outbreaks intensify in historic and new regions, this WHA79 Side Event aims to explore how arboviruses – including dengue, chikungunya, Zika, yellow fever and Oropouche – are shaking health systems and reshaping global health priorities and collaborations. At a moment when the global health architecture is being fundamentally reshaped, will examine whether these diseases are destabilising systems or catalysing innovation and collaboration, and how climate change, urbanisation and global mobility are accelerating their impact. The discussion will bring together Member States and experts from science, policy, community health and climate to chart a path forward.
Agenda:
– Updates on the progression of the arboviral threat worldwide (dengue, Zika, chikungunya, yellow fever, Oropouche fever…)
- Member States statements on arboviruses experiences and collaborative strategies
- Discussion with participants and forum for exchange of best practices
- Open discussion and networking among participants
