The current COVID-19 pandemic and past epidemics have illustrated the vast impact the spread of infectious diseases can have on global health, economies, and societies.

While we have identified gaps in preparedness, we’re missing the resources needed to fill those gaps and maintain capacities to be prepared for the next pandemic threat. There is a strong economic case for sustained country-level investment to establish and maintain global health security capacity in support of the International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005) and other global health security frameworks, which are critical to help prevent and mitigate future infectious disease threats, as well as minimize risks to economies around the world.
