A health system that can reach those who are in vulnerable conditions brought on by crisis must be resilient and strong. Major infectious diseases and epidemics have severe effects on human lives, wreaking havoc on long-term social and economic growth, as seen by the present coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The United Nations General Assembly requested the first-ever International Day of Epidemic Preparedness, which took place on December 27, 2020, to promote the value of epidemic prevention, preparedness, and collaboration.

To prevent the suspension of fundamental services and to ensure a sufficient response to any potential epidemics, it is crucial to increase epidemic prevention. We are aware of the crucial role that non-governmental organisations, particularly the World Health Organization (WHO) play in coordinating epidemic responses and in aiding local, regional, and global efforts to stop outbreaks and deal with their effects. In addressing issues related to global health, we must acknowledge that governments, stakeholders and the general public have a primary role and obligation.

A balanced, optimal approach to the health of people, animals, and the environment is known as "One Health." The strategy mobilises various sectors, disciplines, and communities to collaborate in the prevention, detection, and response to threats to global health. This leads to the development of fresh and improved concepts that tackle the underlying problems and produce long-lasting, effective responses.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 3 The past few days at The 38th Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) have been inspiring. I've gained a deeper understanding of CF, CF care, cutting-edge research, and, most importantly, the lived experiences of people living with cystic fibrosis and their families. I am leaving this session with more inspiration to serve people living with CF with my work. Thank you to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for this invaluable opportunity to learn, connect, and be more inspired. #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 1 Another exciting day at the NACFC! I started with the morning educative session, reconnecting with my incredible research team and reviewing their insightful posters for the conference. It was also a great learning session at the endocrinology abstract presentations. I engaged in the roundtable discussion, which aligned closely with my research focus, the session on the CF disease mechanism, and the plenary session, which was a great opportunity to stay updated on the advancements in CF therapies. I wrapped up the day with some general and group social gatherings because it’s all about building relationships and sharing ideas! #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
