The public health ecosystem includes pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic medical research centers, major charitable foundations, local and state health departments, the World Health Organization, NGOs, schools of public health, national health agencies around the world and, at its very center, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Not one of these entities can achieve its mission independent of the others. It is a complex and highly effective web of dedicated scientists who stand between all of us and global disaster. The experts on this panel will explore how to make that web even more effecpubkicpublicpive and efficient, so that the past century’s remarkable advances in health and longevity continue for future generations.
