Experts predict that a future disease outbreak will spread?

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgency of addressing global health security as future disease outbreaks are possible and could spread internationally due to increasing globalization, modern transportation, dense urban communities, and environmental changes impacting ecosystem dynamics affecting wildlife and vector-borne diseases transmission. Experts emphasize collaboration on surveillance, rapid response capability, vaccination, antiviral development, equitable access to medical countermeasures, public health literacy, strengthening existing systems (WHO), and sustainable funding to minimize impact future outbreaks could have on public health, healthcare systems, economy, travel, education, security, and mental health.
