Former U.S. Secretary of Defense and Senator Chuck Hagel, speaking at the UNMC Global Center for Health Security\u2019s inaugural pandemic summit, praised the work of the center while warning of challenges of future public health emergencies that lay ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summit, entitled \u201cNever Again,\u201d was held Oct. 19 at the Truhlsen Events Center and drew participation from national and international experts in academic, corporate, philanthropic and government sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summit\u2019s goal, encapsulated in its name, was mitigating the catastrophic consequences of future pandemics by using public-private partnerships to prevent disruptions to economic, social and health care systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Lawler, MD, executive director of international programs and Innovation at the Global Center for Health Security, said \u201cnever again\u201d would require that communities have dramatically improved capabilities to recognize and characterize threats early, flex health systems to accurately diagnose and treat large-scale influxes of new patients and implement actions to prevent disease transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a global challenge,\u201d Dr. Lawler said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attendees took part in several panel discussions on the benefits and need for new and expanded partnerships, as well as current perspectives on global health security. Breakout sessions were held to brainstorm and define necessary steps to create successful partnerships to combat current and future pandemic challenges. Panelist Chandresh Harjivan, PharmD, president of SaponiQx, said the measure to success was a simple one: \u201cDeaths averted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Lowe, PhD, executive director of education at the Global Center for Health Security, said the event emphasized the need for a coalition to address ongoing challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVolunteerism is no longer an option,\u201d Dr. Lowe said. \u201cWe need to build coalitions with infrastructure, specifically cross-sector coalitions. We need to build local capacity to meet the needs on the ground, then scale solutions that work. We cannot let perfect be the enemy of progress.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The on-campus event concluded at the Davis Global Center \u2014 with tours of the National Quarantine Unit and Training, Simulation and Quarantine Center \u2014 before participants gathered at the Cottonwood Hotel\u2019s Schimmel Ballroom to listen Secretary Hagel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe learned many lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic, and this meeting was an important step in deciding the best ways to apply them,\u201d said UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, who spoke at the opening session and introduced Secretary Hagel\u2019s keynote address. \u201cThere is much still to do, but we are uniquely positioned to help decide how best to prepare to address future challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There is no question that public-private partnerships will form the foundation of future preparation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
