The Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS) released a new report on Friday called “Global Health as a Bridge to Security” on global health and its relationship to national security.
The report shows how nations with healthy populations are more likely to be peaceful, prosperous and productive.
Former CENTCOM Commander Admiral William Fallon made keynote remarks and then joined former U.S. Navy Deputy Surgeon General Admiral Thomas Cullison and Ambassador Cameron Hume, former U.S. ambassador to Indonesia, Algeria and South Africa, for a discussion on how global health needs to be a part of strategic planning in military operations decision making.
