Report Proposes New Framework to Prepare for Future Pandemics
Nearly 5 years after the COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant gaps in pandemic preparedness, a new report is calling for a "paradigm shift" in how the world prepares for the next pandemic.
The report from the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB) argues that despite advances in science and technology, the world remains highly vulnerable to future pandemics because of persistent inequities, mistrust, and underinvestment in preparedness.
It urges governments to work together to bolster health systems, establish a pandemic risk monitoring system, and strengthen cooperation across sectors and borders.
The GPMB was established by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank in 2018 to monitor the world's preparedness for pandemics and other health crises.
A "paradigm shift" is needed in pandemic preparedness.
Author's summary: New report calls for global cooperation to prepare for future pandemics.
