What Can We Do Better to Stop This Outbreak

at 7:45

From the episode: What we do (and don't) know about the coronavirus | David Heymann

Answer

A major problem in the world today is how we look at the outbreaks in developing countries as something that we need to go and stop. Instead, we should want to see a world where every country can do its best to stop its own outbreaks.

What we've done is invested in many mechanisms globally, which can provide support to other countries to go and help stop outbreaks, but we have not yet invested enough and helping countries develop their core capacity and public health to do that.
