HIV, COVID-19 and Global Health at an Inflection Point: Going Forward in Partnership
Tuesday, July 7 Satellite Session – Satellite Channel 4
8:00 AM Pacific | 11:00 AM Eastern
COVID-19 has transformed the way the world prioritizes global health. In countries where weak health systems are already overstretched, COVID-19 threatens to be catastrophic. We are at an inflection point and an unprecedented partnership is needed between Governments, Civil Society and the Private Sector. There is an opportunity to build on the experiences and leadership of these sectors in the global fight against HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases, in order to fight the impact of COVID-19, and protect hard-won gains in the fight against HIV/AIDS. This session will explore how to improve collaboration between the Private Sector and Civil Society, presenting successes and best practices, as well as looking at the challenges and opportunities in accelerating the fight against HIV/AIDS, together.
