PANDEMICS: PREPAREDNESS, RESPONSE AND RECOVERY
October 30th - November 1st 2020
Bush House, King's College London
We are living through the story of the century.
Hospitals are understaffed, schools are shut and aid had been shut off from conflict zones as over 170 worldwide teams race to develop a vaccine. Geopolitical tensions have been sparked as decades worth of progress on poverty is reversed by our worst global recession since World War II.
This pandemic has shone a light in the problems that will shape our generation - inspired by this, the LonWHO 2020 conference is titled 'Pandemics: Preparedness, Response and Recovery'.
This international World Health Assembly will prepare you to meet these challenges head-on. In a series of structured debates, lectures and seminars you will learn the global health diplomacy, debating and policy-making skills needed to become youth health leaders.
Our extensive & fact-checked theme booklet is filled with information that will guide you through every problem, equipping you with the tools to further your global health careers.
At last year's conference over 160 delegates' tackled the theme of 'Conflict and Health'. This year the enemy is invisible and deadly. It won't be the last one - let's be ready to face the challenge.
MORE SUB-THEMES COMING SOON.
