Global Health Security 2024

The third Global Health Security (GHS) conference, to be held this year in Sydney, Australia, will convene experts from around the world to discuss health challenges, research, policy, solutions, and innovations to build a future of better health for all. Topics for discussion around conditions that worsen health include the impact of climate change, conflict, zoonotic pathogens, various determinants of health—social, political, and economic—and more. 

RTI global health experts will be presenting on mobilizing communities during an outbreak, real-time disease surveillance, risk communication, reducing barriers between the environment and public health sectors and more.
