Preparing for Pandemics
Usually, pandemics are sudden and unexpected hence a threat that countries worldwide
need to prepare for. Over the years, health outbreaks and epidemics have become increasingly
complicated, making it challenging for the existing global health care systems to mitigate and
eradicate the menace. Vulnerabilities and rapid transmissions will continue to be a threat until
countries worldwide embrace measures in preparing and dealing with pandemics. Preparing for
pandemics encompasses several aspects such as pandemic preparedness and response, the fourth
industrial revolution, Africa, vaccination, China, and international trade and investment. In
addition, the preparation includes factors such as migration, risk and resilience, digital
communications, COVID-19, humanitarian action, agile governance, and the future of
computing. This paper seeks to examine the key elements involved in preparing for pandemics.
Incorporating pandemic preparedness, infection surveillance, and response measures in
quality health systems accessible to all individuals is fundamental. Resultantly, this ensures
massive protection from disease outbreaks, saving lives and funds. The medical care sector has
served an imperative purpose in responding to pandemics, including the recent coronavirus
outbreak. Furthermore, the sector is making contributive efforts towards preventing future
outbreaks by strengthening the resilience of the care systems (Taylor, 2019). Based on the past
epidemics, society has learned measures necessary for response and combating infections.
Firstly, there is the 'flattening' phase which is essential in maintaining low figures of casualties
not to overwhelm the health systems. Secondly, there is the 'fighting' stage of balancing
economic, social, and health aftermaths while distributing vaccines (World Economic Forum,
2021). Lastly, there is the ‘future’ stage involving the transformation of related businesses into
opportunities while optimizing the medical care systems.
