Résumé : | Advancements in science and technology related to diagnostic capacities, vaccines, and antivirals have provided more effective tools for preventing and responding to infectious disease threats. The movement toward a One Health approach to pandemic preparedness, is also promising, as many infectious disease threats of significance originate among animals and cross-over to humans. However, the failures in response to the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa suggest that current global governance structures and operational synergies within and among various countries, institutions, and international bodies may be unable to respond adequately to catastrophic infectious disease crises. No other pandemics in the past century have approached the magnitude of the 1918 influenza pandemic. If a pandemic of comparable scale and impact to the 1918 pandemic were to occur today, modeling estimates suggest that the impact could be similarly devastating. Collective action at local, national, and global levels could strengthen preparedness for infectious disease outbreaks and pandemics by leveraging and intensifying the scientific and political momentum that has gathered over recent decades. In November 2018, an ad hoc planning committee under the auspices of the Forum on Microbial Threats at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine planned two sister workshops held in Washington, DC, to examine the lessons from influenza pandemics and other major outbreaks, understand the extent to which the lessons have been learned, and discuss how they could be applied further to ensure that countries are sufficiently ready for future pandemics.(D'après l'introduction) |
