The participants will be discussing issues in the seven sessions of the health dialogue including establishing a Pakistani Centre for Disease Control (CDC), global health security, childhood immunisations, Covid-19 engagement, regulatory engagements, maternal and child health, and non-communicable diseases.

Experts say the health dialogue exhibits close ties between Pakistan and the US and a befitting way to celebrate the milestone of the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between both the countries.
