Panel Discussion: Preparing For "Disease X"

How prepared are global health systems for a future outbreak that is unknown, unpredictable, and potentially far more disruptive than past crises? Recent global experiences have shown how quickly emerging health threats can challenge even the most advanced systems, exposing gaps in readiness, coordination, and response capacity. Experts in this conversation will reflect on how surveillance, research, rapid response frameworks, and international collaboration are evolving to address future unknown health risks.

Panel Discussion: Mental Wellbeing As A Core Health Metric, Not A Side Category

This discussion will bring together experts to reflect on how healthcare frameworks are evolving to recognize psychological wellbeing as a central component of patient outcomes. From fragmented approaches that separate emotional wellbeing from physical health to more integrated models that recognize their deep interconnection, you will learn how healthcare systems are reshaping the way health is understood, measured, and delivered.
