The COVID -19 experience, along with the shifting geopolitical climate, is challenging global cooperation and collaboration in health security. New alliances amongst nations are forming, while some nations are reorienting their disease governance away from multilateral institutions. Meanwhile, bilateral funding in global health is drying up and global financing mechanisms are competing for the same development assistance dollars. This talk will discuss the current state of global health security and pandemic preparedness, review the challenges to global health governance, and identify potential opportunities going forward.

Rebecca Katz, PhD MPH , is a professor and director of the Center for Global Health Science and Security at Georgetown University, where she is jointly appointed in the Medical Center and the School of Foreign Service. From 2004 until 2024, Dr. Katz was also a senior advisor and expert consultant at the U.S. Department of State.
