Abstract

Effective pandemic preparedness requires a multi-faceted approach. This body of work underscores the critical need for sustained investment in national and global strategies, emphasizing international cooperation and robust health systems. Key areas include operationalizing the One Health approach, strengthening pharmaceutical supply chains, and enhancing global surveillance. Economic models confirm the significant returns on proactive spending. Ethical considerations, particularly with Artificial Intelligence, and the vital role of community engagement and a well-supported public health workforce are also highlighted, all aiming to build resilience and learn from past crises.
