A health system that can reach those who are in vulnerable conditions brought on by crisis must be resilient and strong. Major infectious diseases and epidemics have severe effects on human lives, wreaking havoc on long-term social and economic growth, as seen by the present coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The United Nations General Assembly requested the first-ever International Day of Epidemic Preparedness, which took place on December 27, 2020, to promote the value of epidemic prevention, preparedness, and collaboration.

To prevent the suspension of fundamental services and to ensure a sufficient response to any potential epidemics, it is crucial to increase epidemic prevention. We are aware of the crucial role that non-governmental organisations, particularly the World Health Organization (WHO) play in coordinating epidemic responses and in aiding local, regional, and global efforts to stop outbreaks and deal with their effects. In addressing issues related to global health, we must acknowledge that governments, stakeholders and the general public have a primary role and obligation.

A balanced, optimal approach to the health of people, animals, and the environment is known as "One Health." The strategy mobilises various sectors, disciplines, and communities to collaborate in the prevention, detection, and response to threats to global health. This leads to the development of fresh and improved concepts that tackle the underlying problems and produce long-lasting, effective responses.

ROAD TO MASTERS IN THE US

jhsph.edu ROAD TO MASTERS PROGRAM IN THE US The first thing is deciding where you want to further your education. For me, I believe the United States stands out for various reasons 1. Their institutions/universities are among the best in the world 2. Unlike institutions in the UK, you do not have to pay tuition upfront.
