Health as Infrastructure: Resilience, Energy & National Security

Healthcare is no longer just a service; it is a critical infrastructure. From pandemic response to geopolitical instability, recent shocks have exposed the fragility of both global health systems and the underlying infrastructure they depend on. In this session, leaders from healthcare and critical infrastructure will examine how resilience, emergency response, and long-term investment must be aligned across sectors. Drawing on perspectives from Health Alliance Global and the Department of Energy, the conversation will explore the intersection of healthcare delivery and infrastructure security, from supply chain integrity and domestic manufacturing to energy reliability, data systems, and crisis coordination. As governments and enterprises rethink preparedness, what does it take to build integrated systems that can withstand disruption and support national and global stability?
