If you are one of those who would like to meet with Director-General of Health and Secretary and Chief Executive, Ministry of Health Dr Ashely Bloomfield and take a photograph to add to your collection of celebrities, here is a rare opportunity.
Dr Bloomfield will be our Guest Speaker at the Indian Newslink Thirteenth Annual Indian Newslink Lecture scheduled to be held on Monday, August 16, 2021 at Mahatma Gandhi Centre located at 145 New North Road, Eden Terrace in Central Auckland.
This is a Black Tie, formal event with dinner. A cash bar would be set up for drinks.
Endearing to millions
Since the Covid-19 pandemic began last year, Dr Ashfield has endeared himself to millions of people in New Zealand and across the world appearing with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Grant Robertson, Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins and other officials at media and other conferences. His clear, straightforward and easy-to-understand messages have not only been informative and useful but also endearing. He continues to pursue concepts of Honesty, Integrity, Accountability and Transparency, which are the core principles of Good Governance.
And Good Governance is the core theme of the Indian Newslink Lecture series that began in July 2011. Since then, the Annual Lecture has been delivered by men and women who have distinguished themselves as leaders in their field.
Governance during a pandemic
Covid-19 and its Management, along with the ‘need to know,’ dissemination of information through the right channels and most important of all addressing the problem of ‘misinformation’ have all been the challenges that confronted (and continue to confront) Dr Bloomfield. How he and his team have subscribed to Good Governance needs to be known.
We have made special arrangements for photographs to be taken by our official photographer with Dr Bloomfield at the Lecture. You can also pose with National MP for Botany Christopher Luxon, who will be the Master of Ceremonies, Auckland Mayor Phil Goff (Welcome Address), Diversity, Inclusion and Ethnic Communities Minister Priyanca Radhakrishnan (Analysing the concept of the Lecture), Indian High Commissioner Muktesh Pardeshi (Reflections) and Professor Anil Thapliyal (Concluding Remarks). Among our other guests would be ACT Party Leader and Deputy David Seymour and Brooke van Velden, Labour and National MPs and corporate leaders.
