Description:
The dialogue event held in Frankfurt from 25 to 27 November 2015 provided experts with an opportunity to exchange experiences and lessons learned on public health protection. The event was hosted by the Public Health Department of the city of Frankfurt am Main. In cooperation with the the Public Health Department of Frankfurt, Connective Cities international community of practice for sustainable urban development had invited practitioners and actors from relevant health and crisis management institutions to attend, along with representatives of public institutions (at the local, regional and national levels) in Brazil, Jordan and Liberia.
As well as supporting the sharing of good practices, the event also set out to identify implementation-oriented and collective project ideas to prevent and fight biological emergencies at the local level. Improved cooperation and continuous knowledge sharing should in the future help contain the spread of infectious diseases at the local, regional and international levels.
