Global trends in preparation for future infectious diseases

Future infectious diseases refer to infectious diseases that require preemptive preparation at the national level due to their ability to cause major threats to public health or disease burdens in Korea, within the next 20 years. The world's major agencies, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), are analyzing the causes of future infectious diseases, and generating a list of diseases to be prioritized first among them, to prepare countermeasures in advance. Such countermeasures would include a strategy to protect people from not only existing infectious diseases, but also new ones that may emerge in the future. The public health system plays a major role in executing key strategies against future infectious diseases. These strategies should be based on scientific evidence validated by research and development (R&D), and should be continuously upgraded.
