How to prepare for the next pandemic?
The COVID-19 pandemic has infected at least 500 million people and killed more than six million. But it is also the worst combined health and socioeconomic crisis in living memory. The pandemic has exposed deep inequalities between and within countries and struck particularly hard on people who are already marginalized and disadvantaged. How can we learn from these events and develop a complete pandemic preparedness and response system on which citizens can rely to keep them safe and healthy? What role can universities and university alliances play?
