Security Nexus Webinar – Beyond Borders: Indo-Pacific Health Security Cooperation
Sebastian Kevany, MA, MPH, PhD has conducted over 100 global health and development missions to Africa, the Middle East, the South Pacific, Eastern Europe, and Asia with a focus on monitoring and evaluation, health security, international relations, human rights, health diplomacy, and international governance.
In this episode of The Security Nexus | Webinar, we have a distinguished guest who delves into the critical topic of Beyond Borders: Indo-Pacific Health Security Cooperation. Our guest, Dr. Sebastian Kevany, is a respected expert in the field and has a wealth of experience in addressing health security challenges in the Indo-Pacific region.
During our conversation, we explore the multifaceted nature of health security and how it transcends traditional boundaries. Our guest discusses the current health security challenges facing the Indo-Pacific and emphasizes the interconnectedness of health and security in the region, with a particular focus on the way in which no one nation can rise to these challenges alone.
We delve into successful health security initiatives around the world while touching upon real-world examples of effective approaches that have made a positive impact. Our guest stresses the importance of security cooperation among Indo-Pacific nations, shedding light on how shared efforts can lead to stronger health
security – and how national and international security is both explicitly and implicitly connected to infectious disease control and public health.
Furthermore, we explore the role of technology and innovation in enhancing health security (e.g., mRNA vaccines, immunization, predictive modeling, and electronic medical records). Our guest provides insights into how cutting-edge solutions can be harnessed to address health challenges, making the Indo-Pacific region more resilient.
Finally, our guest offers recommendations for bolstering health security efforts in the Indo-Pacific. This discussion seeks not only to provide valuable insights but also encourages listeners to play an active role in health security initiatives beyond borders in the Indo-Pacific.
