Since 2014, the United States has been part of an
initiative to build global capacity to respond to infectious
disease threats. The Global Health Security Agenda
provides a foundation for the global community to better
prepare for and meet the growing challenges of infectious
disease. Since its launch, however, the GHSA has
been confronted by the 2014 Ebola outbreak; the 2016
Zika virus; the 2018 Ebola outbreak; and now, devastatingly,
COVID-19. Is the global health security foundation
strong enough for what comes next? Join the World
Affairs Council of Seattle for a conversation with
Ambassador (ret.) Bonnie Jenkins, who in the course
of her long career as a U.S. diplomat was a leading U.S.
official in the launch and implementation of the GHSA.
