Epidemic Preparedness
Epidemic preparedness refers to the strategies and actions taken to prevent and manage infectious disease outbreaks. This includes early detection of diseases, effective communication, vaccination programs, stockpiling essential medical supplies, training healthcare workers, and developing response plans. The goal is to minimize the impact of epidemics on public health, ensuring that systems are in place to quickly respond and contain outbreaks if they occur. By planning and preparing in advance, communities can better protect their populations and reduce disruption to society during health crises.
