In his opinion, “when the next pandemic arrives, which it will, we must be prepared to respond decisively, collectively and equitably.” According to the WHO, pandemics are far from being the only threat facing humanity, but it took it for granted that new pathogens and new pandemics will arrive, which is why it urged world leaders to design a strategy to face these challenges.
