The Global Preparedness and Monitoring Board (GPMB) 2023 report, ‘ A fragile state of preparedness’, which is based for the first time on an analysis using the GPMB Monitoring Framework, finds that global preparedness for pandemics and other disease outbreaks remains inadequate. There have been some areas of progress since COVID-19 but this progress remains fragile, and some areas have declined, highlighting an urgent need for political commitment and increased resources. The Board makes four key recommendations to urgently strengthen global preparedness.
In this webinar, key board members discussed the report findings and what’s new in pandemic preparedness.
