Corona virus and Health security – For building resilient global community

Corona virus (COVID-19) outbreak in China is affecting multiple aspects of our lives as globalization and world economy is heavily intertwined. All nations face potential risks of sudden regional geopolitical changes, military conflict, natural disaster, exposing to infectious diseases, or unintentional release or deliberate use of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear agents. However, we are not yet fully prepared to responding such threats, and it is critical to nurture potential global leaders in Japan as well as other Asian nations, who would understand the nature of threats and can build resilience and capability to deal with crisis situations. The goals of this health security and building resilient global community (“the project” here after) include 1) nurturing future leaders’ awareness to responding to such threats, 2) developing a major US-Asia-Japan community hub for sharing best practices in crisis-management, and 3) harnessing alliance and long-term perspective for regional safety bringing multiple stakeholders. In this project, Global Health Innovation Policy Program will conduct 3-day comprehensive conference sessions, including informal Round table dialogue with health policy makers/experts, one day public-open conference, and application-based crisis simulation workshop
