PUBLIC HEALTH GRAND ROUNDS: A New Public Health Order in the 21st Century

Theme: A New Public Health Order in the 21st Century

Ending the COVID-19 pandemic and mitigating its impact can be a reality where there is a collective effort to use evidence-informed and effective interventions.
The scale and magnitude of human, financial and technological investment in the management of the pandemic creates successes but also highlights weaknesses in our systems to address the needs of the marginalised and vulnerable persons. The pandemic highlights the scales of inequalities and the challenges that continue to persist and undermine momentum, putting at risk the progress made with health and economic development during the past decade, with tragic implications for people’s lives, economies, health security, and sustainable development.
