2022 IANPHI Annual Meeting | Pandemics, Conflicts, Climate Change: New Roles and Challenges for National Public Health Institutes
The 2022 IANPHI Annual Meeting will be held on November 30-December 2, 2022 in Stockholm, Sweden, hosted by the Public Health Agency of Sweden. This year's theme will be Pandemics, Conflicts, Climate Change: New Roles and Challenges for National Public Health Institutes.
In recent years, the world has faced crises affecting public health – directly or indirectly. The COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts, and climate crisis have had multiples consequences, including on national and global economies and on food security, with an effect on populations’ health and wellbeing, often exacerbating health inequalities.
The participation of national public health institutes in the management of these crises has often deeply changed their institutional environment, their role in national health systems, and their organization and practices.
IANPHI and its members have reviewed the impact of those crises and examined them through different lenses with initiatives such as the COVID-19 lessons learned exercise and report and the IANPHI Roadmap for Action on Health and Climate Change.
To address populations’ new health needs and support decision-making to protect and improve the health of the populations in the context of these crisis, NPHIs have to go through a transformation.
How can we build that transformation based on the lessons learned from the different crises?
