6th Emergency Medical Teams Global Meeting (EMT 2024) - Session 3: Expanding Partnerships
Session Description:
Fostering partnerships and knowledge sharing with other networks and partners is one of the key strategies under Strategic Objective 1 for achieving the overall goal and vision of EMT 2030. This priority of expanding partnerships and strengthening networks is reflective of the WHO Director-General's Proposal #6 to build a safer world together, of a key principle underlying the WHO General Program of Work, 2025-2028, and of SDG 17. For the EMT Initiative, broadening partnerships and fostering stronger engagements with organizations and networks across different disciplines and sectors at national, regional and global levels will be valuable in catalysing further support and advocacy, unlocking innovative sources and means of resource mobilization, and facilitating more comprehensive technical and operational assistance.
In this session, participants will discuss the benefits of extending partnerships, learn about the impacts of existing and recently established agreements of the EMT Initiative, debate the merits of increasing public-private partnerships to strengthen health emergency preparedness and response (particularly considering global equity and vulnerable/marginalized populations), and contribute their ideas and suggestions for novel sources, channels and means of partnerships that the EMT Initiative should pursue.
