Register to join Episode 74 'Pandemic responses from around the world' on Zoom here.
Covid-19 has been a truly global pandemic, but each nation has led its own individualised response, causing inevitable international comparisons and analysis of strategies.
In this episode, we will hear stories from countries with different challenges and responses to the pandemic. We will be joined by experts from Australia, Brazil and Israel, who will discuss infection rates, population density, vaccinations, lockdowns, borders, and the relationship between politics and science.
Our guests will include Professor Walter Ricciardi, President of the World Federation of Public Health Associations, Dr Luis Eugenio de Souza, Professor at the Federal University of Bahia in Salvador, Brazil, Dr Stephen Duckett, health program director for Australia's Grattan Institute and Professor Nachman Ash Israel’s coronavirus commissioner.
