Trust between different levels of governance is essential for better decision-making in public health emergencies. In times of crisis, coordination between local, national, and regional public health institutions is paramount to ensure that our responses to emergencies are efficient and effective.
Without trust as the cornerstone, public health efforts can be fragmented, leading to inefficiencies, delays, and ultimately, a compromised ability to protect our people and communities.
This panel session will bring together high-level policymakers from several regional public health agencies to discuss the common challenges and opportunities in building trust across different levels of governance. The session will highlight the critical role of regional public health agencies in balancing diverse country needs, while strengthening overall global coordination. By fostering dialogue and the open sharing of experience, the session aims to identify concrete pathways to build trust across all levels, enabling the global community to respond to health emergencies with better coordination, enhanced resilience, and greater effectiveness.
The session will also explore how the World Health Organization (WHO) can leverage its unique convening power to build trust among countries, regional public health agencies and partners, facilitate knowledge exchange and experience sharing, and enhance coordination and collaboration as we strengthen global preparedness for future health emergencies.
