The global strategy to outpace the next emerging pathogen
In short: WHO COVID-19 Technical Lead Maria Van Kerkhove explains why our current response is a blueprint for the future. Watch to understand the specific protocols being developed to ensure we aren't caught off guard by the next pandemic.
In this conversation from December 2021, Van Kerkhove discusses the transition from reacting to the Omicron variant to building a proactive pandemic preparedness protocol at the World Health Organization. She emphasizes that ending the current crisis depends on individual actions and collective vigilance.
The core of her message is the application of lessons learned over the past two years. By establishing formal protocols now, the global community aims to move faster against future pathogens. The goal is to ensure that every action taken today serves to shorten the duration of the pandemic rather than prolonging it.
