Join this Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) webinar on Thursday, April 16th from 8:30 to 9:30 pm EST, ‘Tackling the COVID-19 Pandemic: Experiences from Asia.’ This webinar features three leading global health experts from the region who will share what worked in their battle against the virus. They will also describe what we need to do to strengthen our collective ability to prevent, detect and respond to disease outbreaks.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus spilled over from an animal host to a person late last year in China creating a pandemic that is raging around the world. Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong responded decisively and effectively to curb the spread of the virus, saving thousands of lives. There are many lessons the international community can learn from them.
