Aspen Medical, showcased its expertise as an Emergency Medical Team (EMT) at the upcoming EMT Global Meeting. Held in Abu Dhabi from 5 to 7 November, this premier event will bring together global health emergency experts to discuss partnerships, strategies, and innovative solutions in health emergency preparedness and response.
Hosted by the World Health Organization (WHO), the EMT Global Meeting brings together key stakeholders from national and international organizations, academic institutions, and humanitarian partners to enhance collaboration and strengthen global emergency health response capabilities. A major focus this year is the EMT 2030 strategy, which aims to bolster national EMT capacities and shape the future of global health emergency preparedness, response, and resilience (HEPR). Participants discussed standard setting, research, capacity building, and long-term strategies for more effective emergency operations worldwide.
Glenn Keys, Executive Chairman of Aspen Medical, was a featured speaker on Wednesday, 6 November, during a session titled “Public-private partnerships for health emergency preparedness and response”. Keys highlighted the critical role public-private partnerships play in health emergency preparedness and response, using Aspen Medical’s proven model and extensive deployment history as a case study. Drawing on collaborations with the United Nations, WHO, and other international organizations, Keys emphasized the vital contribution the private sector can make to global health crisis response efforts.
“Public-private partnerships have proven to be an essential element in ensuring timely and effective health emergency responses,” said Glenn Keys. “Aspen Medical has had the privilege of working alongside governments and international organizations in delivering life-saving services to vulnerable populations. We are committed to continuing these efforts and building a more resilient global health system.”
