AB - As of September 2022, there have been over 613 million cases of covid-19 and a global death toll of 6.5 million.The pandemic caused an unprecedented global crisis, not only because of the millions of lives lost, but through the devastating economic and social disruption that accompanied it. Many health systems—even those considered “robust”—were left stretched far beyond their capacities. According to the Global Health Security Index report, released shortly before the start of the pandemic, no nation in the world was considered equipped to handle a global pandemic of this magnitude.We also know that this pandemic won’t be the last, so we need to make changes that ensure we’re better prepared for the emergencies to come. How can we strengthen our fragile health systems?
