IVCC participated in the 2024 Global Health Security Conference in Sydney, from the 18^th to the 21^st of June.

The event brought together leaders, researchers, policy makers and representatives from private industry, international organisations and civil society. Discussions focused on strengthening health systems and explored ways to improve global responses to the most pressing health challenges.

IVCC was represented by Justin McBeath, CEO and Chris Larkin, Director of Operations & Communications. Together, they participated in a range of sessions, including a side event facilitated by the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade which brought together a range of Product Development Partnerships (e.g. IVCC, MMV, TB Alliance) to discuss areas of common challenge and opportunity with a particular focus on advancing Gender Equality & Social Inclusion (GEDSI). In addition, Justin McBeath was part of a panel for a session, hosted by GARDP (The Global Antibiotics Research and Development Partnership), on ‘Improving Access to Critical Health Products’.

IVCC was also an exhibitor at the conference, giving the opportunity for delegates to learn more about the scope our projects and initiatives.
