What are we doing to prepare for the next pandemic?
We go behind the scenes at WHO and some of the European region’s major public health institutions to understand what the most likely causes of future pandemics could be and what strategies are in place to avert them. We talk to the experts applying the lessons of previous pandemics and focus in on the systems in place to spot threats and reduce their impact. We speak to the legion of public health experts getting on with the not very glamorous, but incredibly important work of emergency preparedness— experts in surveillance, genomic sequencing, epidemiology and more. The people who are containing outbreaks and laying the groundwork to mitigate the effects of pandemics, not if, but when they occur.
With Dr Maria van Kerkhove on Disease X, Dr Gail Carson on pandemic preparedness and Roland Driece on the Pandemic Accord.
