Good afternoon. Eyeing the dean of the Institute School of Public Health and im delighted to have everyone join us today for this discussion. We have the author of an incredibly important book here, rosemary gibson. Her book is the topic of a dramatic shift in where our madisons come from. China looks at the position as a pharmacy of the world. I think any of us in the Public Health profession have been unaware of the shift. We may notice on time but there are shortages and contamination issues and other problems but i think that it is we have not been aware there is a systematic issue, a major change in the system for manufacturing pharmaceuticals. The implications of one country and the supply of medicines were astounding no matter what country we may be talking about. Think about it. What if there is a Global Pandemic and its hard to lose products across the world. But if there are heightened tensions within the South China Sea. Everyone could be vulnerable and put at risk. The role
Phyllis was born in tulsa, oklahoma in 1924 and soon moved to northern california, graduated from u. C. Berkeley in 1946.

And delivering pharmaceuticals. The implications of one country are astounding, no matter what country we may be talking about. Think about it. What if theres a Global Pandemic and its hard to move product across the world because of that . What if there are heightened tensions within the South China Sea . Everyone could be vulnerable, everyone could be put at risk. The role of the fda in the situation cannot be overstated because the fda cannot be as effective in assuring the safety of our medicines in farflung areas of the world as it can at home. Many of us are not aware of the facetoface contact that the fda has with those who are manufacturing our drugs. The inspections that they could duck, the very hands on work that is involved in making sure that the manufacturers of drugs is safe. They certainly set up offices all over the world to do that, but thats not the same as having offices having manufactured in your own country. And with the u. S. Losing manufacturing capacity, which

This is an amazing accomplishment, transformative, in just one week the Javits Center looks entirely different. This is a place that is literally going to save lives. Let me go through some facts, if i can. On a daily update of where we are and i want to make some comments to all the women and men who are assembled and do such a great job on this facility. The increase in the number of cases continues. We see the trajectory going up. Plan of action. Step one, one flattened the curve, we increase capacity.
