Compliance with the IHRs: Travel restrictions in the context of COVID-19 – An Open Dialogue with Dr Karen Grépin

Dr Janice Johnston is the Deputy Director (Education) of the HKU School of Public Health. 20 years ago, she spearheaded the HKU postgraduate programme which has developed into the Master of Public Health (MPH) programme. A medical educator, originally from British Columbia, Canada, Dr Johnston previously worked in Canada to strengthen medical care for communities in remote areas. She moved to Hong Kong 30 years ago, and joined HKU’s Department of Community Medicine, where she completed her PhD. As a highly experienced educator, she is passionate about developing public health programmes which equip people to be effective public health practitioners. To date, Dr Johnston has witnessed over a thousand students graduate from HKU’s MPH programme. Many alumni are currently working at the forefront of COVID-19 response measures, to make Hong Kong a safer and healthier place. Dr Johnston’s greatest satisfaction comes from connecting with currents students, and hearing from alumni about the journeys they have embarked on, and the contributions they are making to society.

Professor Benjamin Cowling, an acclaimed infectious disease epidemiologist, moved to Hong Kong in 2004 after the SARs epidemic. Recognising that infectious diseases are an ongoing threat, the HKSAR government looked into ways to strengthen capacity and preparedness to respond to future outbreaks. 15 years later, with Covid19 spreading worldwide, Prof Cowling is at the forefront of informing local and international governments and agencies on population wide measures to slow down transmission to contain the spread. His expertise and capacity continues to expand beyond influenza research into many other diseases and decision making capacities to contribute to global health security.
