Guest Speakers Quotes

A Global Perspective
The global coronavirus pandemic shines a spotlight on the World Health Organization (WHO). This pivotal organisation with a broad mandate, public health, is under increasing
The global response to the coronavirus reinforces the UN’s vocational values of multilateralism, solidarity, constructive analysis and collaboration from all levels of society: from citizens to governments learning from each other and applying recovery measures.
With the challenges of existing health issues, the inability to access healthcare quickly, and the risk of transmission from people working in urban areas, if the transmission of COVID-19 continues to escalate, this may spell yet another disaster for the indigenous people.

The purpose of our charity is to advance education concerning public health to reduce environmental and social risk factors, by accelerating individual and collective knowledge of the social determinants that make up health.
Cov360 officially launched April 9 2020. We are a ‘network of publics’ made up of post-graduate level volunteers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, IE Business School, University College London, Kings College London, and the University of East Anglia, plus many other institutions from around the world.
The Cov360 team come from 25 nationalities around the globe. We speak over 22 languages. In the future, we hope to have content in languages other than English. We are from the healthcare sector, humanitarian practice, international governance organisations, and academia, among other innovation-based backgrounds.
We share experience, expertise, and constructive analysis to help you through this pandemic, from preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery, we exist. Through building a network of trust to help reinforce the WHO guidance in our communities.
As a charity, we help to advance education concerning the social determinants that make up health. That includes ensuring that preparedness is readiness now and in the future. The underlying ambition of Cov360 looks to the future to enhance global wellbeing inspires us to transform this crisis into an opportunity.
To help us think about what kind of recovery we want, a quote from the poet, Raines Maria Rilke;
“Now, even for humans, there are only bars and no world behind millions of bars. Once, albeit outside, in the old open that grew around us over millennia, where no engineer had more power than a small animal which feels its dominance of the open.”
