EPI-WIN Webinar: Partners in PRET: How different sectors can engage in pandemic preparedness [1]

[]

Date: 2023-09-20

The Preparedness and Resilience for Emerging Threats (PRET) initiative is an innovative approach to improving disease pandemic preparedness. It recognizes that the same systems, capacities, knowledge, and tools can be leveraged and applied for groups of pathogens based on their mode of transmission (respiratory, vector-borne, foodborne etc.). PRET brings together stakeholders from all relevant sectors to support pandemic preparedness planning and capacity building. Please join us for this one-hour webinar to learn how you can engage in PRET and hear examples from partner organizations working in health and other sectors!

This webinar will offer interpretation services in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and Arabic, while also featuring AI-powered interpretation in Bengali, Chinese and Hindi to broaden global accessibility.
