Frontline Medical Humanitarian Response and Public Health Diplomacy in the Digital Era<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Abstract
\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Globalisation, climate change, population movement, urbanisation, demographic ageing and
\r\nprotracted crises have been reshaping the global risk landscape for health. The interactions
\r\nof extreme weather events, environmental degradation, emerging infectious threats and
\r\nfragile health systems have exacerbated frequencies of complex emergencies and led
\r\nto catastrophic health consequences that burden disproportionately rest on the most
\r\nvulnerable populations.<\/p>\r\n


\r\nIn this inaugural lecture, Professor Chan will share her three decade-long global experiences
\r\nand insights from field practices, evidence-based academic research and capacity-building
\r\ninitiatives in disaster and humanitarian medicine. Her lecture will highlight lessons learnt,
\r\nchallenges and the latest frontiers in the protection of health and dignity in the digital era.
\r\nThe dynamics and intersections of frontline medical humanitarian response, public health
\r\ndiplomacy, humanitarian ethics and global health equity will also be discussed.<\/p>","remarks":"","contact_information":{"contact_person":"Ada Tsui","contact_number":"39433171","contact_email":"adatsui@cuhk.edu.hk","department":"CPRO"},"content_migrated":false,"original_id":0,"photos_original":null,"original_contact_id":""},"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":true,"date":"2027-05-15 08:27:33","action":"change-status","newStatus":"private","terms":[],"taxonomy":"post_tag","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/236366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/236366\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":236519,"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/236366\/revisions\/236519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236366"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=236366"},{"taxonomy":"event_participants","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cpr.cuhk.edu.hk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_participants?post=236366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
