Virtual  2020-06-18 12:00 p.m.    2020-06-18 3:00 p.m.

Addressing the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic in Low-and Middle-Income Countries

The UK Academy of Medical Sciences, in collaboration with expert representatives from 9 LMICs: Argentina; Brazil; India; Malaysia; the Philippines; South Africa; Uganda; Rwanda; and Kenya, are hosting a virtual workshop to consider the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic response in Low-and-Middle Income Countries (LMICs). This workshop will take place from 15 to 18 June 2020.

 The aims of the workshop are to:

  • Bring together evidence from eight low- and middle-income countries from across the world.
  • Consider how health systems are responding to the pandemic by discussing key challenges in the provision of effective interventions.
  • Evaluate the challenges of getting science into policy in fast-moving environments.
  • On the basis of the evidence, identify gaps in our knowledge and the associated research priorities.
  • Consider lessons that can be learned by each country from the other and opportunities to work together.

 The final day of this workshop - 18 June - 11 am to 2 pm UK time or 12 to 3 pm SA time - will be available to watch on the Academy’s website and YouTube Channel. Follow this link to find out more and register to view this event.
