COVID-19 Live Briefing: Secondary Health Impacts on the World’s Most Vulnerable Children

UNICEF

About

Tune in to hear our panel of experts discuss the secondary impacts of COVID-19 on children’s health, particularly for the most vulnerable, due to the disruption of life saving health services and weakened or fragile health systems. Join us as we examine the situation on the ground and explore how we, as a global community, can “build back better” from COVID-19 with an emphasis on health systems strengthening.

Panelists: 

Luwei Pearson has been the Acting Associate Director of the Health Programme at UNICEF HQ since 2016. Luwei is a pediatrician with a master’s degree in public health, and she started her career with UNICEF in China in 1988. She served UNICEF in several duty stations including: China, Pakistan, Nepal, East and Southern Africa based in Nairobi Kenya, Ethiopia and New York. Her expertise has been evolving with a keen focus on maternal, newborn and child health programs, and primary health care systems.

Emily D. Carter, PhD, is an Assistant Scientist at the Institute for International Programs at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. Her research aims to strengthen public health programs and policies through improved measurement of intervention coverage and health impact. Her work focuses on improving the availability and quality of data for public health decision-makers in low- and middle-income countries.

Currently, Emily’s focus is on developing methods for linking household and health care provider assessments for estimating intervention coverage, including geospatial techniques for combining data sets. She also works on estimating intervention impact through mortality modeling and direct estimation from survey data. Emily is also a contributing author the recently released report published in the Lancet Global Health Journal focused on the potential secondary impacts of COVID-19.
