Global health emergencies have widespread consequences
Health threats continue to disrupt economies, supply chains, and communities worldwide. Recent global health crises have led to:
The rising burden of infectious diseases, with outbreaks of diseases like Ebola, avian influenza, mpox, cholera, and antimicrobial-resistant infections posing serious threats to global health systems.
Millions of lives lost due to infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and emerging outbreaks.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, 90% of countries reported challenges in delivering essential health services due to workforce shortages, supply chain vulnerabilities, and resource gaps.
Frequent disease outbreaks continue to threaten global stability due to weak surveillance and cross-border health threats.
Billions in economic losses, with pandemics, drug-resistant infections, and health system failures projected to cost the global economy trillions in the coming decades.
Spotlighting partnerships and innovations
The PSRT brings together leading organizations advancing global health security through strategic partnerships, innovative technologies, and scalable solutions.
