What does it take to pandemic-proof our cities? Festival of Innovation 2022

Covid-19 may have dominated global headlines for more than two years, but it’s only one episode in the world’s long history of deadly disease outbreaks. Monkeypox, dengue fever, malaria, and the looming threat of other diseases means that governments must always be well-prepared to handle future health crises.

So, how can cities work towards a pandemic-proof future? At GovInsider’s Festival of Innovation 2022, healthcare experts gathered to look at how interagency collaboration, data-sharing and community healthcare can increase cities’ resilience to disease outbreaks.
