SUMMARY:Infectious Diseases beyond COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Addressing and containing infectious diseases is a major global
  challenge. While the fight against the recent pandemic has enabled unprece
 dented progress in many areas, the focus on COVID-19 has also simultaneousl
 y led to reduced control measures for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, s
 ignificantly leading to a profound increase in cases and deaths. Given this
  observation, it is time to take a comprehensive approach to manage all inf
 ectious diseases. Future strategies need to incorporate broader integrated 
 control programs, rapid responses and new technologies (e.g. artificial int
 elligence) to reduce global morbidity and mortality. \n\nThe Academy of Sci
 ence of South Africa (ASSAf) and the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldin
 a, together with the Académie Nationale des Sciences et Techniques du Sénég
 al (ANSTS) and the Ethiopian Academy of Sciences (EAS), are organizing a tw
 o-day workshop using the COVID-19 pandemic as a starting point to look at a
  broader picture of Infectious Diseases. It aims to discuss the newest adva
 nces in research about re-emerging Infectious Diseases, future pandemic pre
 paredness and the integration of the One Health approach. \n\nIn a public r
 oundtable, representatives of various stakeholders from politics, business 
 and science will discuss the experiences and lessons learned from the COVID
 -19 pandemic. COVID-19 has demonstrated how quickly infectious diseases can
  spread worldwide when hitting unprepared societies. While no one can preve
 nt the outbreak of new infectious diseases, better preparedness and resilie
 nt health systems can help mitigate future pandemics.\n\nPrior investments 
 in infectious diseases, open science, research infrastructure and human res
 ource capacity building efforts and strong collaborations and partnerships 
 between LMICs and HICs enabled unprecedented progress in the development of
  diagnostics; vaccines and treatments buttressed by strong information syst
 ems. However, challenges like the equal access and distribution of diagnost
 ics vaccines and treatments between LMIC and HIC remain. The recent health 
 crises has once more shown how important a multi-sectorial and multi-dimens
 ional approach to pandemics should be. How can societies effectively implem
 ent prevention measures? And how can pandemic preparedness be increased glo
 bally?  \n\nThe scientific coordinators of this meeting are:  \n\nQuarraish
 a Abdool Karim (ASSAf)Papa Salif Sow & Mamadou Ndoye (ANSTS)Wondwossen Amog
 ne (EAS) Stefan H.E. Kaufmann ML (Leopoldina)\n\nIt will be the fourth work
 shop of a series on Infectious Diseases for post‐doc researchers from Afric
 a and Europe, which ASSAf and Leopoldina initiated in 2016.
