The COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 highlighted the critical need for preparedness in responding to future pandemics. Effective disease control relies on the swift and accurate dissemination of information to policymakers, alongside the development of efficient intervention strategies.
Excactly 5 years after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, we are hosting a Community Talks exploring various aspects of infectious disease, with a particular focus on sub-Saharan Africa.
This Community Talks will feature a series of interconnected talks, each showcasing different approaches to modelling and monitoring infectious diseases.
