Global Public Health and Epidemic Response

Current challenges for global public health

In the face of the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and the threats of other global infectious diseases, the urgency of global public health challenges has become even more acute. We focus on how to strengthen public health systems by increasing disease prevention, improving health system responsiveness, promoting health education, and increasing access to essential health services for all.

International collaboration to respond to large-scale epidemics

In response to a large-scale epidemic, how to achieve effective collaboration between countries is the key. We help students analyze historical epidemic response cases, discuss coordination mechanisms under the current global public health security framework, and propose strategies to improve the international community’s response capabilities and resource sharing. Improve overall preparedness and response capabilities for future public health crises by guiding students to understand and promote global cooperation.

Promote health technology and innovation

With the rapid development of science and technology, the role of digital health and medical technology in preventing, diagnosing and treating diseases is becoming increasingly important. We will explore how to continue to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of global public health services by developing advanced health information technology, enhancing innovation capabilities in vaccine research and development, and strengthening the analysis and use of health data.

Cultivate leading public health talents

Cultivating talents who can play a leadership role in the field of public health is the basis for improving the level of public health. The programs we offer focus on developing the core competencies of public health professionals, including outbreak surveillance, risk assessment and communication strategies. These will help trainees formulate and implement public health strategies more effectively in actual work, thereby improving the overall level of epidemic response and management.

Social Engagement and Health Promotion

Public health is not only the responsibility of the government and health professionals, but also requires extensive participation from all sectors of society. In this section, we will educate and inspire public and non-profit organizations, businesses, and ordinary people to understand how to take actions in their daily lives to improve the health and health of themselves and their communities. Participants will learn knowledge and strategies about healthy lifestyles, disease prevention and health promotion to promote a healthier and more resilient society.
