The Forum on Microbial Threats hosted a 1.5-day workshop that provided a venue to examine lessons—both applied lessons and missed opportunities—from a century of major outbreaks and pandemics. As we reflect on the world’s current readiness to prevent, detect, and respond to pandemic influenza and other potential novel diseases, the workshop focused on overcoming the structural and behavioral obstacles to achieving greater preparedness, in order to identify immediate and short-term actions that will have the greatest impact on global health security by 2030.
