Dr. Andrew Azman
Epidemiologist, Research Associate at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public, Health. Geneva AV短视频 Hospital HUG

"Beyond Efficacy: The Complex Journey of Cholera Vaccines
in the Real World"

Despite their excellent safety and efficacy, oral cholera vaccines have been underused in global cholera control efforts. In this talk, Dr. Azman will review the history of cholera vaccines and, drawing on his group’s epidemiological research, explore the complex factors driving their underuse — including a self-reinforcing gap between supply and demand leading to persistent global shortages, misaligned expectations of vaccine impact, weak global surveillance, and evidentiary gaps resulting in unclear vaccination recommendations. He will also discuss how lessons from cholera vaccines can inform strategies for other vaccines targeting neglected diseases of the poor.

Dr Joanne Liu, MDCM, FRCPC

Professeure à l'École des populations et de la santé mondiale de l'Université McGill. Directrice du laboratoire de préparation aux pandémies et aux urgences sanitaires (PERL).

Table ronde avec la Dre Joanne Liu autour de son livre
"L’Ébola, les bombes et les migrants"

Dans un monde marqué par l’obsession sécuritaire depuis les attentats du 11 septembre 2001, la solidarité face aux crises humanitaires s’est fragilisée. Dans "L’Ébola, les bombes et les migrants", la Dre Joanne Liu revient sur trois situations majeures où la réponse internationale a manqué d’humanité, privilégiant la sécurité intérieure au détriment des populations directement touchées. Son livre est un appel fort à reconnaître notre humanité commune.

Pédiatre urgentiste, la Dre Liu a mené près de trente missions humanitaires avec Médecins Sans Frontières depuis 1996. Présidente internationale de MSF de 2013 à 2019, elle a été une voix majeure lors de l’épidémie d’Ébola, des attaques contre les hôpitaux en zones de guerre et de la crise migratoire mondiale. 

L'assemblée sera invitée à poser ses questions et échanger directement avec la Dre Liu. La table ronde sera animée par des étudiants et des médecins en santé publique : Elisabetta Eriu, Elsa Gaillard, Rosemary Jouhaud, Roberta Petrucci, Audrey Pouvrasseau et Arnold Sulu.
