How has COVID-19 impacted the future of global health?

Oxford Global Health and Care Systems Society

The Oxford Global Health and Care Systems Society are hosting a discussion-based workshop with the aim of gathering participants’ unique lived experiences on how COVID-19 has impacted on the future of global health.

Participants will engage with this overarching question in break-out rooms for a collaborative and iterative discussion process featuring four sub-topics that include:

• international biomedical collaboration in clinical research;
• health systems recovery and strengthening;
• health data and disease surveillance;
• and COVID-19 as a human crisis, where we will explore the politicization and racialization of the pandemic (among other sociocultural aspects of the coronavirus).

There will then be an opportunity to return as a larger group to share and further build upon a plethora of valuable opinions and perspectives that will surely have emerged from the more intimate discussion sessions, and to reach some sort of a co-created, forward-thinking conclusion – or to forego a conclusion altogether, and co-create further questions instead.
