SUMMARY:Topics in Global Health: Mobile to Multiplex
DESCRIPTION:Join experts from nongovernmental organizations\, industry\, and government as they examine how to meet the needs for diagnostics in global health in the absence of resources to develop these technologies. \nLow- and middle-income countries have made significant progress in reducing the burden of infectious diseases. But sustaining these gains will require more low-cost diagnostics to support population-level health programs. These range from basic laboratory tests to diagnose infections to sophisticated molecular diagnostics for assessing the presence of multiple pathogens within populations. How do they address this challenge when the people who need these technologies can least afford them? A panel of the world’s leading diagnostic experts will examine this issue from multiple perspectives and offer solutions for accelerating innovation in this space. \nKeynote Address: “Harnessing High Tech for Global Health”\nDan Fletcher\, PhD\, University of California at Berkeley. Inventor of the LoaScope that turns a smartphone into a high-quality light microscope for diagnosing parasitic infections. \nPanelists \n\nDianna Blau\, DVM\, PhD\, laboratory and diagnostics leader\, Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) program (seconded from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)\nJ.

SUMMARY:The Gender Dynamics of Pandemics
DESCRIPTION:Transmissions of COVID-19 in developing countries and those experiencing ongoing humanitarian emergencies are on the rise.\n\nFighting this pandemic with resources and strong government institutions has proved to be challenging even in countries such as the UK and the U.S.\, imagine this scenario in the developing world where reality is a tale of constrained resources and lack of basic infrastructure.\n\nThen comes the social norms in these developing countries where women and girls come last.\n\nSocial norms\, such as expectations that women and girls are responsible for doing domestic chores and nursing sick family members\, can expose women and girls to greater health risks during COVID-19. CARE USA works in humanitarian relief in these developing countries and now they have the difficult task to ensure that these women and girls are protected from becoming easy targets of this pandemic.\n\nJoin the World Affairs Council of Atlanta via Zoom to discuss with Camille Davis\, Senior Manager\, Humanitarian Resource Mobilization\, CARE USA\, the implications that COVID-19 will have on gender equality in the developing world.\n\nOrganized by the Young Leaders Executive Board. OPEN TO ALL.

SUMMARY:Why Are There No Face Masks?
DESCRIPTION:The shortage of face masks and personal protective equipment (PPE) is real.\nThe situation has become so dire that some health care workers have resorted to unprecedented (forced) break in protocol by wearing bandannas for masks and trash bags for gowns.\n\nHow is this happening in the United States?\nThe global just-in-time supply chain might be appropriate for blue jeans but does it make sense for vital medical supplies? China\, the first nation to shelter in place because of COVID-19\, produces half of the world’s masks.\n\nRobert Abernathy\, former Chairman & CEO of Halyard Health Inc. – a pharmaceutical and medical products supply company that produces surgical masks and gowns – will unpack this crisis that further complicates the fight against this global pandemic and share thoughts on what a supply chain “fix” would look like.\n\nThis online program is a open to all.
