GENEVA – The world is “dangerously unprepared” for future pandemics, the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said in a report published on Monday, calling on countries to update their preparedness plans by year-end.
“The next pandemic could be just around the corner. If the experience of Covid-19 won’t quicken our steps toward preparedness, what will?“ said Mr Jagan Chapagain, secretary general of the IFRC, the world’s largest disaster response network. The report said that countries should review their legislation to ensure it is in line with their pandemic preparedness plans by the end of 2023 and adopt a new treaty and revised International Health Regulations by next year that would invest more in the readiness of local communities.
