Remnants of an eradicated disease: challenges for global health

Abstract

The challenges for global public health in the coming decades directly involve government action and investments. The document lists 13 urgent challenges for the world's population, among them the extremely shaken relationship between the ecosystem, climate and health and the preparation for new epidemics. The WHO also pointed out that new epidemics are inevitable and are directly related to the environmental issue, however, planned preparedness and response actions are behaviors that can prevent specific damage, and avoid higher than expected morbidity and mortality indicators.
