Afghanistan 🇦🇫Quote from HananBalkhyحنان بلخي (@HananBalkhy):
On the International Day of Epidemic Preparedness, one thing is clear: global health security starts in our local communities with trust, readiness and acting early.
From the COVID-19 pandemic to the many outbreaks affecting the Eastern Mediterranean Region today, we have learned that preparedness must be local, equitable and continuous. By investing in community-centred health systems – linking human, animal and environmental health through a One Health approach and strengthening early warning and rapid response – we can stop outbreaks before they escalate, protecting lives, health systems and livelihoods.
Watch my message on why epidemic preparedness matters to us all.
