Global pandemic preparedness warnings

Overview

International health organizations and the United Nations have issued warnings regarding global unreadiness for future pandemics. A report by the Nus-Lancet Commission and The Lancet, presented during the 81st United Nations General Assembly, noted that collective memory of the COVID-19 crisis is fading despite rising risks. The report advocated for a shift toward “person-centered protection” to address gaps in healthcare and social systems.

Following these warnings, UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohamed stated that a new pandemic is not a matter of probability, but “a matter of time.” Mohamed emphasized that the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo serves as a test of international readiness. She called for permanent preparedness through three critical actions: closing funding gaps for detection and containment, adopting a ‘One Health’ approach that integrates human, animal, and ecosystem health, and ensuring equitable access to medical tools.
