and public healthed a large -- public health at large. because if we don't invest in our public health security, everything else can get shaky on top of that. what we're tri-ing to do so help folks understand how we are moving into this new moment, learning the lessons of the past, turning our data into action more quickly, communicating clearly, and making sure we're investing in those core capabilities that, again, we need everyone's help in this. because we know that protecting health and improving live, that's a big job. we're grateful for this conversation and these kinds of forums to be able to do that. michael: so people in our conference here, in 2024, in may, own or control over 3,000 companies. they have tens of millions of employees. and i think if you were discussing with them the reason for partnership, access to data, how they can help you and how you can help them. mandy: good, well, thank you for that opportunity because i think we absolutely need to focus on the employees right in front of us. i think businesses, of cours

event, a bona fide public health emergency. it gets easier but not in -- not entirely. maybe would like to comment on the importance of the engagement, not just u.s. but internationally, as part of our front line of preparedness? >> absolutely. when you said labs are music to my years i wrote that down. i appreciate the engagement among a number of different partners who are supporting our laboratory work overseas. we were recently in the middle east and met with one of your staff there and learned about the work that was going on there as well, but i wanted to also into the question related to telling stories. and we need help, because we come at it from a public health standpoint of. this is wonderful. we stop the outbreak at its source. but converting that into a conversation or story, we can utilize the partners in this room to help us. also there's potentially an opportunity to think more of it as a national security threat. covid was not just about public health with the impacts on our economy, for example, the impact on

if they were willing to protect the integrity of public health work. and were they not willing to ask us to do anything that was corrupt, i would go anywhere. and i cut a deal with the united states government and george bush was president and everybody followed it, i never did anything they didn't know what i was doing and they didn't object to what i was doing as long as it was all transparent. and then we just started working on ways to do things faster, cheaper and better. the first thing we had to do was to realize we had a traditional system which has served america and the western world very well of giving a fairly extended patent for the development of new medicines because it requires a lot of advanced money to develop this medicine and you have to give people a chance to recover their investment. but in the case of aids, it put us in a terrible position because there was so many people who had it around the world and people were dying like flies and we needed to do something to speed it up. in the middle of this there was an argument of poor

as a public health servant and a captain in the public health service you have been on the forefront on some very important diseases both virology and other infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases such as ray's syndrome. can you tell us very briefly how difficult is it to get into medical school especially in the 70s and 80s? >> i don't know. i was -- >> was it easy to get into medical school? >> it's never easy. particularly for somebody like me. when i applied to medical school the only science course i ever had was ninth grade general biology. >> do you know what alpha omega alpha is? >> that an honorary fraternity or society for medical students. >> national medical honor society. is it easy to get into it? >> i don't believe it is. >>'s or procedures to get in in the third year or the fourth year? >> i don't know. >> do you know what a kilt is? >> like the scottish kilt? yes. >> do you know what a jerusha's is? a roman garb such as roman soldiers where sort of like a skirt? >> i don't think i know that word. >> i left home at 16 to put myself through to medical school. i was

their area usually a medical teaching hospital, public health department or established in group practice. a new way to deliver health care. yes, in a great many important it is. and here in the center what their ties to the communities serve. they are training neighborhoods, people to take their part in it. the training programs include not only assistant family, health workers, laboratory technicians, x-ray technologist and other specialists, but also key punch operators, switchboard operators, record specialist and when their training is complete, these people will be equipped to fill need that the center itself or go out into their community and, work in other facilities by new wage earners and neighborhood centers, or helping develop the financial health of the community as well as its physical health. this new and it's challenging and it's frustrating to because the problems aren't solved yet by any means. there are still patients whose needs aren't being entirely satisfied. still health workers, not entirely home with this new concept of care. the system is evolutionary and energy

the public by using a personal e-mail that would only lead to further distrust in the nation's scientific community. and this decline in the confidence of the enterprise has rippled and had healthffects that we are seeing even now. for example, we have seen the effect of the distrust in science specifically within our vaccine record. a recent survey from the public policy center found that the proportion of respondents who did not believe in vaccines that are approved in the united states doubled from, nearly doubled from 9% to 16% between april, 2021 and the fall of 23. and with new variance of the coronavirus, people are getting their booster shot. as we hold today's hearing, the united states is at the precipice of losing the measles elimination status due to repeated outbreaks of the disease that propped up against the country from florida to ohio to missouri to california. this is especially concerning his 250,000 kindergartners nationwide haven't received their updated measles immunization leaving them unprotected from this deadly disease. that is not your fault. when people don't trust scientists, they don't trust the science. you've answered this question in another way

another important parallel is in public health, we follow the so she oh ecological framework. individual behaviors stem and often are influenced by a broader social environment and a broader physical environment. we can change human health and human behavior by recognizing the systems that people are operating and looking at the social and physical environments. taking a holistic view, it is very much aligned with the approach that public health practitioners used for other health issues. with respect to your question around data, the public health community offers tremendous resources and knowledge around how we can improve the injury data systems. there are complementary data sources including the trauma registries, ems data, that can supplement the data that we collect from law enforcement officers. we also see examples of timeliness in data collection within the public health community. and opportunities to link that data and understand the nature of risk. with respect to the question about communications, public health does a fantastic job in many ways of engaging the comm

with jacobabad city in pakistan expected to hit 49 degrees later on today. officials have issued public healthputting the lives of children at risk. let's speak to hilary bambrick, director of the national centre for epidemiology and population health at the australian national university. how serious is this situation? these temperatures are extraordinary, aren't they? we are looking at the high 40s across large parts of asia in high 30s in other parts. it is a very serious situation in a situation that is being made worse by climate change. these temperatures are unlikely to be occurring in the absence of climate change. we should be viewing them as a taste of things to come as well. we do need to be very well prepared to manage the public health impacts on those sorts of impacts on those sorts of impacts are, you mention children. they are especially at risk from heat partly because very young children do not regulate body temperature very well but they are not good at slowing down in the heat or drinking enough as well. children are not the only vulnerable people in temperatures that extre

we have been working with the ugandan public health for the last copiers and have the capability, theernment stood up and contain the outbreak. based on some of the work we've done in the lab in uganda a decade prior. the work that was done in equatorial guinea, that was a nice collaboration with usa and department of state and the cdc getting people underground in a very difficult environment to contain the outbreak. but part of the issue here is that we invest in laboratories, invest in people, we invest in surveillances, and early detection and containment. it's hard to describe prevention. it's hard to show the success of what we have prevented. but talking more about it, talking about the counterfactual, for example, of what would've happened actually if we do not have triticum didn't have laboratory testing, have not done workforce training, i think that's important as well. >> we are in an environment where trust is not high in any institution is not hight but trust in the cdc is probably still on the low side from everything that i've read. well, there's some partisan dimensio

they issued a public health alert that there is a new drug. it is a animal tranquilizer.melatonin, dean. is now in the drug supply several cities and it's responsible for driving overdose spikes in chicago, pittsburgh and philadelphia, including toronto, and vancouver. canada. so this is something that is a concern for me. as a lawmaker in san francisco, it's a concern for me also is somebody who is has my own history. recovery. from drug addiction. this is personal to me in a way that many things in politics. have been personal in years past. so i wanted to make sure as a member of the board of supervisors that i'm asking the right questions of city departments. and that that was questions are are we monitoring for mediterranean? and if we're not? what do you need from city hall to make sure that we're doing this and doing it well, so i've asked the ossoff the chief medical examiner department of public health and the police department to explore what we're doing, or what we're not doing and report back. so what does that mean? does that mean boots on the ground going ar
