ANSER Supports NATO’s Science for Peace and Security Program

Arlington, VA - ANSER, an operating unit of Analytic Services recently partnered with the Croatian Urgent Medicine and Surgery Association (CROUMSA) to host an Advanced Study Institute (ASI) supported by NATO’s Science for Peace and Security program. The ASI, Applying Lessons Learned and Sharing Best Practices in Addressing Pandemics and Catastrophic Health Events, was held in Slavonski Brod, Croatia from November 27 - December 8.

With faculty representing expertise in disaster medicine and public health from over twelve countries, the ASI addressed the topics of disease surveillance, standardized practices to support surge capacity, and maximizing efforts in austere environments. Dr. Elin Gursky of ANSER and Dr. Boris Hershcovski of CROUMSA led this multilateral effort in order to further coordinate preparedness across national boundaries in times of crises.

"Analytic Services has for many decades supported our Nation’s public health and disaster preparedness efforts. Dr. Gursky’s leadership of this effort to share best practices internationally continues this trend while also ensuring for a more vigilant emergency preparedness and response community. We were honored that she was selected by NATO for this role," said Thomas Benjamin, ANSER’s Chief Operating Officer.
