Hong Kong, June 2026 – Steflogix is proud to announce that General Manager Michael Somersall attended the 2026 Global Public Health & Food Safety Summit in Hong Kong, joining international experts in public health, food safety, vector control, and pest management.
The summit focused on key global issues including food safety, vector-borne disease prevention, integrated pest management, and the importance of the One Health approach, which recognizes the connection between human, animal, and environmental health.
One of the key discussions highlighted the critical role of Pest Control Operators (PCO’s) as frontline responders in protecting public health, particularly during disaster recovery efforts. Following hurricanes, floods, and other natural disasters, PCOs play an essential role in controlling mosquito populations, mapping & reducing rodent infestations, preventing disease outbreaks and helping communities recover safely.
A major takeaway from the event was the importance of prevention through strong food safety systems, effective pest management programs, and international collaboration to address emerging public health challenges.
“Attending this summit provided valuable insight into global best practices and emerging trends that will help strengthen the services and solutions we provide throughout the Caribbean,” said Somersall. “The recognition of Pest Control Operators as frontline public health professionals during disaster recovery is particularly relevant for our region, where vector control is a critical component of protecting communities after hurricanes and other emergencies.”
Steflogix remains committed to bringing international best practices and the latest industry knowledge to the Caribbean. By participating in global events such as the Public Health & Food Safety Summit, the company continues to enhance its expertise in food safety management, HACCP implementation, pest management, sanitation, and public health protection.
As food systems become increasingly interconnected and public health challenges continue to evolve, Steflogix is dedicated to helping organizations build safer environments, strengthen compliance, and protect the health and well-being of the communities they serve.
