WHO Pandemic Hub Aims for 24-Hour Outbreak Detection by 2030

The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a new five-year strategy for its Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence, setting an ambitious goal for every country to detect and understand emerging health threats within 24 hours of their appearance by 2030. This initiative is a cornerstone of global health security, designed to help countries contain outbreaks before they escalate into larger epidemics or spread internationally. The strategy emphasizes strengthening rapid detection capabilities, supporting national institutions, and fostering partnerships through a 'One Health' approach.
