Health threats are like unpredictable storms. Health departments need to be prepared to face current and future health threats, which starts with infrastructure. For decades, the workforce and core systems of health departments have been underfunded. This has created a weak infrastructure that CDC is actively strengthening and repairing through the Public Health Infrastructure Grant (PHIG). CDC’s PHIG has funded 107 health departments to improve the services, systems, and workforce that impact the health of communities around the country. https://bit.ly/3R4WG78

Let’s all get stripped from our souveregnity: The draft pandemic agreement is a kind of nonproliferation accord: a declaration that we will help each other and work together in the event of a new public-health crisis. The overarching lesson from the COVID-19 pandemic – one that we learned the hard way – is that no one is safe anywhere until everyone is safe everywhere. Global health security is possible only if we build robust defenses against all pathogens with pandemic potential.
