How will the world prevent the next pandemic? For starters… learning from the mistakes of this one.
A World Health Organization review panel on Wednesday said a new global system should be set up to respond faster to disease outbreaks, which could ensure that no future virus causes a pandemic as devastating as COVID-19.
The panel said the WHO should be empowered to send investigators to swiftly chase down new disease outbreaks and to publish their full findings without delay.
Panel co-chair and former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf: “This is an ongoing disaster that we believe could have been prevented. The evidence shows that an outbreak became a pandemic because of failures, gaps, and delays in preparedness and response.”
