Part 3 of Webinar Series: The Decade After
The COVID pandemic has induced radical societal change in the matter of months, a sense of urgency, and emphasized the need for coordinated international action. How can we leverage this once in a generation inflection point to create the same sense of urgency and levels of coordinated action to address the climate crisis and sustainable development? How do we create the public demand for a more sustainable future to ensure that we do not return to business as usual? What will be the lessons from the COVID pandemic about addressing social and economic inequities?

Description
The global COVID-19 pandemic has created numerous challenges for persons with diabetes and for the health professionals who help manage their care. Higher rates of COVID-19 related hospitalizations and mortality, difficulty in accessing medicines and supplies, and the lack of in-person clinic visits due to lockdowns and social distancing and the resulting rapid shift to tele-medicine have caused an unprecedented overturning of the status quo. As the US healthcare system is forced to deal with disparities in care, can it benefit from procedures and low-cost technology that are standard in India? With the US ahead in the COVID-19 timeline, what are lessons that India can learn from the US experience? Will the future of diabetes care in India and the US look more similar than it has in the past?

Webinar Description:
The critical role of compassion in health and well-being has become increasingly clear during the global response to COVID-19. This Global Health Compassion Rounds will engage with participants to co-develop thinking on how to cultivate compassion in pandemic response at multiple levels.
The rounds will begin with key insights from the ground-breaking meeting on the ‘Epidemiology of Compassion and Love’ held at The Task Force for Global Health in January 2020, led by Dr. David Addiss. Experts will reflect on what the insights from the technical meeting mean today, amid COVID-19. Participants will then provide reflections on the role of compassion in coping with COVID-19 in our homes, communities and in health services.
