The Panel for a Global Public Health Convention
The Panel for a Global Public Health Convention is an independent coalition of global leaders working to strengthen the world’s ability to prevent, prepare, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks before they become widespread pandemics. The AHF Global Public Health Institute and the University of Miami Public Health Policy Lab, worked together to launch the Panel in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. With the aim of bridging critical gaps in the global public health architecture through a new global public health convention the panel advocates at the highest level of government to achieve this objective.The University of Miami team, led by Dr. José Szapocznik served as the Secretariat for the Panel until December 2022.
The Panel is chaired by Dame Barbara Stocking, former President of Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge, and former Chief Executive of Oxfam GB. The Panel consists of 10 high-level members who are leading voices in public health, finance, law, parliamentary, national and international governance, and pandemics. Since April 2021, the Panel has advocated for an international agreement that encourages solidarity, transparency, accountability and equity requiring whole of government involvement and independent oversight mechanisms.
