Pandemic Threats

Pandemic threats refer to the risk of infectious diseases spreading rapidly worldwide, impacting health, economies, and daily life. These threats arise from new or existing pathogens that can transmit easily between people, often originating from animals or environmental sources. Factors like global travel, urbanization, and climate change increase the likelihood of outbreaks. Preparing for pandemic threats involves surveillance, timely response, healthcare capacity, and public awareness to prevent or slow the spread, reducing their impact on society and saving lives.
