This is Episode 3, Season 2, brought to you by the Indo-Pacific Centre for Health Security. Today, we bring you an Indo-Pacific Health Leaders interview hosted by Australian Ambassador for Regional Health Security, Dr Stephanie Williams.
Indonesia, a close neighbor of Australia has been hit hard with COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic. The COVID-19 vaccination is crucial to Indonesia's economic and social recovery.
Australia is proud to be supporting Indonesia's COVID vaccination program, including procuring vaccine doses, funding risk communication campaigns, and collaborating on vaccine development platforms. This support is funded by our new Regional Vaccine Access and Health Security Initiative.
Today's interview is with Dr Anung Sugihantono. Dr Agung is currently the Head of the Central Java Governor's COVID-19 taskforce and a senior health security adviser to the Australia-Indonesia Health Security Partnership, funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
