From Security to Solidarity: Diverse Perspectives Against Global Health Threats  

At the end of every year, the Global Health Council (GHC) convenes a cross-section of stakeholders from the global health advocacy community. The purpose of the Symposium is to assess current trends in global health advocacy and explore our collective call to action for policymakers in the U.S. and abroad. This year, GHC's Global Health Landscape Symposium will focus on exploring diverse perspectives against global health threats. under the current global health security framework, and over the past several decades, we have seen that certain issues have been prioritized over others - at times crowding out solidarity for the sake of security. GHLS21 will bring in the voices of civil society, historically under-represented populations, implementers, advocates, academia, and policymakers, to share their own experiences and recommendations in the design, governance, and implementation of health security policies and programs.
