NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- McCann Health, one of the world's most creatively awarded healthcare communications networks, with the recent establishment of its Global Scientific Council, today announced it has joined the Private Sector Roundtable (PSRT) supporting the UN Global Health Security Agenda.

As the sole healthcare communications agency in the PSRT, McCann Health supports the GHSA efforts to influence how nations engage with the private sector to address some of the world's most daunting health challenges including pandemic preparedness, capacity building and antimicrobial resistance.

"McCann Health is applying its expertise in health communication to make a meaningful difference in people's lives," said John Cahill, Global CEO, McCann Health. "We look forward to working with the public and the private sector on these important health challenges." 

"McCann Health looks forward to assisting countries in strengthening their capacity to bring the best of health communications to stave off the spread of the next pandemic, combat the ominous threat of antimicrobial resistance, and address other threats to global health security," said Daniel Carucci, MD, PhD, Global Medical Director, McCann Health. "There is significant untapped potential from the private sector to bring best business practices to the work of global development; the PSRT provides an opportunity to realize this potential."

The Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) was launched in February 2014 and is a growing partnership of over 64 nations, international organizations, and non-governmental stakeholders to help build countries' capacity to help create a world safe and secure from infectious disease threats and elevate global health security as a national and global priority.
