Global Collaboration Needed to Prevent Pandemics Open Access
Gentry, Brittany (Spring 2021)
Abstract
Introduction: Global collaboration is the backbone for effective public health responses to threats of pandemic potential. Pandemic threats have grown more immediate in recent years with the expansion of globalization, climate change, and human encroachment on animal habitats. Over the course of the past two decades, the world experienced intimately the importance of global collaboration by the 2003 SARS, 2009 H1N1, 2012 MERS-CoV, 2014 Ebola, and now the COVID-19 pandemics. This review synthesizes existing global mechanisms of collaboration to prevent and mitigate pandemics to better understand the perceived gaps.
Methods: Using PubMed, a systematic literature search was performed for studies that discussed mechanisms of global collaboration to prevent pandemics. Articles discussing global-level efforts were included with a focus to understand the gaps in global collaboration to prevent pandemics.
Results: Among 39 eligible articles, most focused on research, development, distribution, public health surveillance, information sharing, and funding. Existing gaps in funding, enforcement mechanisms, national-level public health capacity, and the rise of hyper-nationalism were identified.
Conclusion: It is important to recognize and address gaps in global collaboration to prepare our nations and global organizations to prevent, detect, and control the next pandemic threat.
