Rabin Martin is the Secretariat for the Private Sector Roundtable on Global Health Security.
What is the PSRT?
The Private Sector Roundtable (PSRT) on Global Health Security mobilizes industry to help countries prevent and prepare for health crises at the local, national and global levels. We are a leading voice of the private sector within the global health security community.
Our priority is protecting the health of our employees and their communities, as well as reducing the direct and indirect financial consequences of health emergencies.
The PSRT leverages private sector expertise and resources to mitigate health and development risks and vulnerabilities. We work with countries and multilateral agencies to strengthen the health infrastructure needed to save lives and ensure business continuity.
The PSRT is co-chaired by Alan Tennenberg, Chief Medical Officer Global Public Health, Johnson & Johnson, and Ashling Mulvaney, Vice President, Access to Healthcare and Healthy Heart Africa at AstraZeneca.
