Health Security and the Strategic Role of Health Industries in Resilient Systems

Health systems are only as strong as the industries that support them, from diagnostics and therapeutics to care delivery and data infrastructure. Recent crises have exposed critical dependencies and vulnerabilities across global supply chains, raising fundamental questions about how countries can secure the capabilities needed to protect their populations.

This session brings together leaders from government, industry, and global health to explore how strategic health industries can contribute to more resilient, equitable, and future-ready systems. It will examine the balance between efficiency and resilience, the role of public-private collaboration, and what concrete capabilities countries must prioritize to strengthen health security in an increasingly risky environment.
