Health misinformation is no longer just a communications challenge. It is a growing threat to public trust, emergency response and health system resilience. Join a thought-provoking discussion on how health leaders, researchers, clinicians and community organizations can navigate today's increasingly complex information environment.
The session features Dr. Meaghan Thumath and Aishwarya Nagar, two internationally recognized experts working at the intersection of public health, emergency preparedness, trust-building and misinformation response. Drawing on experience from global health emergencies including Ebola, COVID-19, humanitarian crises and emerging digital threats, speakers will share practical strategies for strengthening trust, responding to misinformation, engaging communities and protecting health systems in an era of rapid information disruption. Participants will gain evidence-informed tools that can be applied across health care, research, public health, policy and community settings.
