HumasUPNVJ - The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how vulnerable countries around the world are to sudden and widespread global health threats. This pandemic not only threatens public health, but also has a major impact on various aspects of state resilience, including economic stability, national security, and social and psychological well-being of the community. This crisis shows the urgent need for better response strategies and more resilient health systems.
Successful pandemic response requires a holistic and coordinated approach, encompassing threat anticipation, impact projection, and rapid and effective response. Good anticipation enables countries to better prepare for potential outbreaks, while projections and predictive models aid in timely and data-driven decision-making.
In addition, the pandemic has also emphasized the importance of cross-sector collaboration, including between the government, private sector, non-governmental organizations, and the general public. This collaboration is essential to ensure efficient distribution of resources, effective communication, and alignment of response efforts at all levels. In line with this, the Faculty of Medicine of UPN “Veteran” Jakarta in collaboration with the Public Health Pandemic Response Division of MN KAHMI held a webinar discussing "Pandemic Response: Anticipation and Projections for State Resilience".
dr. Taufik Fredrik Pasiak, Dean of FK UPNVJ said that this activity aims to provide in-depth insights and share knowledge about anticipatory and projection strategies that can be applied to strengthen state resilience.
