2. Chairman’s Statement
As an earthquake engineer by education, my daily work
unfolded around cost-effective risk management of
natural or technical hazards for sustainable development
on a global scale. My professional interest in public health
might therefore not be straight forward at first sight.
However, the direct inter-linkages are manifold.
For instance, in the aftermath of a natural disaster the
population affected immediately faces health threats not
only from injuries suffered but also epidemics prompted
by interruptions in sanitation services. A different

President GRF Davos contamination as a consequence of a cascading effect led
to a nuclear catastrophe and puts thousands of people
at risk.
Holistically managing such health threats is in line with our
„From Thoughts to Action“ multi-measures and multi-stakeholder risk management
solution at GRF Davos. One Health – a school of thought
by closely linking practice, science, that acknowledges the systemic nature of public health
by linking human, animal and environmental factors –
policy and decision making in the provides an excellent basis for doing so.
I am looking forward to discuss innovative measures

Health Summit 2012 with representatives from the health
workforce, agriculture, pharmaceutical and food industry,
science and policy.
