DCP-4 Volume 2: Global threats to health

This volume will address pandemic preparedness and response. It will:

• Assist decision makers in the allocation of tightly constrained budgets to prevent, prepare for, and respond to pandemics.
• Provide information to national governments and global health actors on how to use their resources to mitigate pandemic risks substantially and equitably.
• Cover key areas of pandemic preparedness from the early detection of spill-over events to accelerating the development and deployment of medical countermeasures.
• Emphasis, where appropriate, will be on the use of evidence and economic evaluation.
