Infectious Disease Preparedness

Infectious disease preparedness refers to the measures taken by governments, organizations, and communities to prevent, respond to, and manage outbreaks of diseases that can spread from person to person. This includes creating plans for surveillance, vaccination, public education, and healthcare readiness. It also involves stockpiling necessary medical supplies and conducting training simulations. Effective preparedness ensures a swift response to mitigate the impact of diseases, protect public health, and reduce the risk of widespread transmission, ultimately saving lives and maintaining societal function during health crises.
