Scientific Sessions

This session examines the complex and evolving public health challenges facing communities worldwide and explores forward-looking strategies to build stronger, more resilient global health systems. As nations confront emerging diseases, persistent inequities, environmental threats, and the burden of chronic conditions, innovative and coordinated public health approaches are more essential than ever. Key themes include global disease surveillance, pandemic preparedness, climate change and health, antimicrobial resistance, vaccine access, health equity, and the impact of migration, conflict, and socioeconomic disparities on population health. The session will also highlight the role of technology, data systems, policy collaboration, and cross-sector partnerships in shaping future public health responses. Participants will gain insights into evidence-based interventions, international health frameworks, and strategic priorities that can drive sustainable improvements in global health. Case studies will illustrate successful models of public health innovation and showcase how nurses, policymakers, and global agencies can work together to address current challenges and build a healthier future for all.
