Abstract

Objectives This study aims to summarize the existing body of literature about the importance of financial philanthropy support to inform the global community about the better way of mitigating the devastating effects following infectious disease pandemics.

Methods The study searched PubMed database and gray literature from other relevant organizations for articles examining pandemic preparedness globally. Keywords used as a guide for searching articles were “finance,” “philanthropy,” and “pandemic” and synonyms. Search results were reviewed for duplicates and screened through titles and abstracts review. A full-text review was conducted exploring articles’ coverage of fourteen evaluation criteria surrounding three primary areas of interest: most recent progress; importance of financing for preparedness; and moving forward solutions. 

Results A total of 150 records were identified through the database searches. Of the 150 records, 130 were eligible for the title and abstract review. After title and abstract review, 125 articles went through full-text review, leading to a final synthesis of 67 articles. We found 20 articles specifically discuss the most recent progress of pandemics preparedness; 32 and 15 articles, respectively, were about importance of financing for preparedness, and moving forward solutions.

Conclusions The roles of financial and philanthropy in minimizing the spread of Infectious diseases during pandemics are crucial, particularly to help global community mobilizing domestic resources and development assistant, leveraging their insurance model and scope, and allocating more money for sustainable research and development. This systematic review uncovered the dynamic and relevant contexts for understanding the role of financial and philanthropy during pandemics to help policy makers, government officials, and financing agencies achieve better preparedness and response to mitigating pandemics
