Dr. Rodrigo Rodriguez-Fernandez, Global Health Advisor at International SOS, advocates for a multifaceted approach that includes health education, regular screenings, and mental health support.
Security is also a priority, with Henning Snyman, Security Director at International SOS, urging educational institutions to adapt to the evolving landscape of campus risks.
