Panel debate followed by a reception in ‘Superbugs: The Fight for Our Lives’ exhibition.

This panel debate was held to mark the 100th Anniversary of Spanish Flu. The deadly influenza pandemic infected some 500 million people and resulted in deaths of between 50 and 100 million people. Since then, we have seen significant investments in public health and clean water as well as the introduction of vaccination across the world.

Whilst growing numbers of us are likely to die of non-communicable diseases, we are however witnessing warnings that we are becoming complacent about the impact of infectious diseases.

Panel:
• Baroness Sally Greengross, Chief Executive, ILC
• Natasha McEnroe, Keeper of Medicines, Science Museum
• Nicola Oliver, Co-Founder, Medical Intelligence
• Helen Donovan, Professional Lead for Public Health Nursing, Royal College of Nursing
• Steven Baxter, Head of Longevity Innovation and Research, London, Hymans Robertson

Financial support for this meeting was provided through a charitable donation from Pfizer.
