Healthcare in a Pandemic #4: Does ASEAN Need Its Own CDC?

One of the things that the COVID-19 pandemic has shown us is how we can all come together to help each other when the going gets tough. But that’s at the community level. At the global level, we have seen some countries lending others a helping hand by providing resources such as the expertise of doctors or even supplies of PPEs. But is this enough to ensure global health security to tackle the current pandemic and others to come? Joining us to unpack this is public policy specialist Dr Khor Swee Kheng for the final part of this mini series, Healthcare in a Pandemic.
