๐ญ Spotted on our GHS2026 reflection wall: "Insanity is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results." A line that applies to nearly every conversation in global health security right now. The threats are evolving. Our response has to as well. #GHS2026 #GlobalHealthSecurity

A registered Australian charity and multidisciplinary professional association dedicated to the elimination of infectious disease threats through evidence-informed policy. We organize the Global Health Security conferences www.ghsn.org/ #globalhealth
๐ฌ Today is World Field Epidemiology Day. Field epidemiologists are often first to detect an outbreak, turning data into action before most of us know a threat exists. Including our very own CEO, our resident epidemiologist. #WorldFieldEpidemiologyDay
๐ฌ "The solutions will not come from any single discipline, any single institution or any single country." Dr. Revati Phalkey, UNU-IIGH, opening GHS2026's Welcome Plenary in Kuala Lumpur. A message that still holds as we look toward GHS2028. #GHS2026 #GlobalHealthSecurity
๐พ Today is World Rabies Day. Rabies is almost entirely preventable, yet it still claims tens of thousands of lives each year. Surveillance, vaccination and collaboration can end rabies deaths for good. #WorldRabiesDay #OneHealth #GlobalHealthSecurity

Excited to be at the #GHS2026 in Kuala Lumpur. Health threats such as #hantavirus, #mpox, #Ebola remind us that #globalhealth security should be everyoneโs concern. Outbreaks do not respect borders. Preparedness depends on collaboration, trust, science & shared responsibility.
This week at #GHS2026, our team and PNGDF colleagues ran a workshop on civil-military coordination, testing an outbreak-after-disaster scenario with a GEDSI lens. 10+ countries, civil and military, sharing how both sectors respond.
At #GHS2026, we joined RAND & @cepi.net for a #The100DaysMission simulation, and exercises like this bridge gaps and spark strategy. Thanks to Claire Standley, @drsethberkley.bsky.social, @jennifernuzzo.bsky.social, @bethcameron-dc.bsky.social, Andrew Hebbeler & others!
