More than 1,000 participants attended a webinar on hypertension management hosted by our grantee The Association of Indonesia Local Health Offices (ADINKES). President of the World Hypertension League, Dr Paul Whelton, highlighted the large gap in hypertension treatment and control in Indonesia and advocated for a simple approach to scaling up treatment.

Our team convened in Hawassa, Ethiopia, to facilitate a four-day leadership and management program for epidemic preparedness for 33 of the nation’s health security leaders. The training will support efforts to strengthen Ethiopia’s health security over the next five years.

At the launch our new study with the World Bank estimating the full economic burden of failing to protect health care workers, Senior Vice President of Prevent Epidemics Amanda McClelland and other speakers called for increased investments to improve protections for health care workers.
