Ebola fails to spur global pandemic preparedness

Original: Ebola fails to galvanise the world to prepare for the next pandemic

Commentators argue that the Ebola outbreak, despite its severity, did not push world governments into building stronger defences against future pandemics. The piece points to weak investment in health systems and slow international coordination as signs that lessons from the epidemic were not translated into lasting preparedness, leaving the world exposed to the next major infectious disease threat.

Why now: Renewed concern about pandemic readiness keeps criticism of the world's response to Ebola in circulation.
