Two years into the pandemic, everyone who has been involved in the COVID-19 response is still learning every day how to do more and better. The world was woefully unprepared for this pandemic and, collectively, we have worked to outrun a virus that has so far proven faster than we have been. SARS-CoV-2 has evolved, persisted and proved predictions wrong. There are many unanswered questions, and our mutual knowledge is changing and adapting along with the virus.
Chatham House, in collaboration with the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations (IFPMA), will host an in-person, two-day, invitation-only roundtable discussion under the CH rule. The event will examine the lessons learned so far, focusing on the following themes: innovation, access and partnering.
