The Neglected Dimension of Global Security – Countering Infectious Disease Crises
2016
This review article summarizes the work and findings of the Commission on a Global Health Risk Framework for the Future. Convened in light of the need for improved responses to global public health emergencies, the Commission comprised 17 members from 12 countries on five continents and included clinicians, scientists, social researchers, policy experts, industry leaders, financiers, and community leaders. The Commission was tasked with providing recommendations on creating an effective global architecture for recognizing and mitigating the threat of epidemic infectious diseases. These recommendations encompass substantial changes to organizational structure and roles, new and modified processes and mechanisms, and new financial arrangements. Taken together, they create a global framework that would protect the world far better against infectious-disease threats. The detailed findings of the Commission were published in the National Academy of Medicine report, The Neglected Dimension of Global Security: A Framework to Counter Infectious Disease Crises.
