   The symposium explores how health security in Indonesia is constituted at multiple levels, from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives. It will consider imminent biological threats, as well as how health security is dependent upon the management of broad social, economic and environmental factors.

The driving question for the day is: What are the crucial components for achieving health security in Indonesia, and how do those components need to work together?
