The Science Summit at UNGA in New York will play host to a stellar line-up of global health experts, who will come together on Thursday 14th September to set out the concrete actions leaders need to make the 100 Days Mission for Pandemic Preparedness a reality.
Held on the margins of the 78th UN General Assembly, President of the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Dr. Victor Dzau, and former BARDA Director Dr. Rick Bright will welcome delegates to a panel discussion that will focus on the 100 Days Mission, a global framework to prepare as much as possible, so that within the first 100 days of a pandemic threat being identified, vaccines, diagnostics and therapeutics can be made available.
Audience members will have the opportunity to put questions to the panellists, five of whom are members of the 100 Days Mission Science and Technology Expert Group , an international group that galvanises support from the scientific community on pandemic preparedness and supports the implementation of the 100 Days Mission.
The event will take place ahead of the UNGA High-Level Meeting on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response, where leaders will seek to keep health security firmly on the radar, in the face of multiple competing crises. Declan Kirrane, Chairman of the Science Summit, remarked, "The Science Summit serves as a pivotal platform to propel science to the forefront of the UN's Summit of the Future 2024 and the encompassing Post-SDG Agenda. The 100 Days Mission is an essential and timely endeavour, poised to enhance inclusive global policy coherence and fortify both human and technical capacities vital for pandemic readiness.
