Focus on Pandemic Prevention
G2H2 Dialogue with Geneva Permanent Missions
Thursday, 12 October 2023
Geneva, International Environmental House

Pandemic prevention starts with addressing the key drivers of spillovers and other pandemic threats and a systemic understanding of One Health, one that tackles the current industrial and development models that literally destroy ecosystems. Pandemic prevention also requires  sustained universal public health systems, people centered care, social protection and fiscal justice, as expressed in numerous WHO declarations. The INB’s focus on surveillance, data sharing and “countermeasures” as the main way of prevention is largely insufficient and must be complemented with a much more comprehensive  approach.
