The economics of pandemic preparedness: Trade-offs in peacetime and pandemics

The Jameel Institute at Imperial College London hosts a day of panels and break-out discussions focused on how to navigate the trade-offs in investment between pandemic preparedness and the surveillance, prevention and management of endemic infectious diseases.

Organised in collaboration with Imperial College London's Institute of Infection and Business School, the programme includes talks from a range of organisational, discipline and global perspectives.

George Richards, director of Community Jameel, chairs a panel discussion titled 'Tradeoffs in peacetime and pandemics', exploring how different disciplines can coordinate in an emergency situation and what investments are priority in order to prepare for pandemics and to respond to them.
