But it is the decades of experience leading up to this crisis that make their advice so valuable. Few people have more experience than\u00a0<i>ANU Alumna of the Year<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 Associate Professor Kamalini Lokuge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cI have spent most of the last 25 years working on controlling multiple epidemics such as Ebola, Lassa fever and avian flu. I know that we can control them by meaningful partnership with communities and using evidence,\u201d says Kamalini.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Her career began as a doctor in conflict and disaster settings such as Afghanistan and South Sudan. It was these war-torn experiences that gave Kamalini insight into the challenges that not only the healthcare systems face, but the people who need them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cTo really help my patients, I needed to understand the context of their lives, how their family lived, what was affecting their community, that\u2019s why I went on to study public health,\u201d says Kamalini.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This has been her mission for the last 25 years, to empower communities to improve their health and wellbeing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">To this end, Kamalini has worked on the ground with local communities and partners to control Ebola outbreaks in West Africa, reduce maternal mortality in countries such as Sierra Leone, develop locally-led programs to combat family and gender-based violence in Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Her key to success? Listening and learning from those who live the problem. Kamalini knows that those who live the experience \u2013 mothers, children, health workers and teachers \u2013 are best placed to identify gaps and deliver solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Right now the health emergency Kamalini is responding to is not on the other side of the world, however. COVID-19 has knocked on Australia\u2019s door, and once again Kamalini has approached it through the lens of social and health inequities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cYou can see the treatment of COVID-19 as separate from other health issues, or you can look for synergies. If every mother could safely deliver their child, for example, then we would have a system that could cope with challenges like COVID-19,\u201d says Kamalini.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cThe problems with equity and equality are what we need to be conscious of.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Kamalini and her team\u2019s research on the epidemiology of COVID-19 transmission and control supported Commonwealth, State and Territory policies, including aged and health care worker policies, and strengthened engagement and trust with disadvantaged groups. This work was critical to ending Victoria\u2019s 2020 resurgence of COVID-19 and has informed Australia\u2019s response to subsequent COVID-19 outbreaks. Kamalini also coined new terms used in contact tracing &#8211; upstream and downstream &#8211; now widely used and accepted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Professor Emily Banks says Kamalini is one of the few people in Australia that has repeatedly controlled high-risk pathogen outbreaks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cIt\u2019s not just an academic knowledge of viruses. Kamalini is one of the few people in Australia who time and again has been on the ground ending outbreaks. She is the pandemic whisperer,\u201d says Emily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Congratulations, Kamalini, on being awarded ANU Alumna of the Year.
