WHO Pandemic Hub sets ambitious goal to detect new outbreaks within 24 hours

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has launched a new five-year strategy for its Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence, aiming to detect and understand emerging health threats within 24 hours of their appearance by 2030. The Hub's strategy focuses on strengthening rapid detection, which is crucial for containing outbreaks before they escalate into larger epidemics or spread internationally.

Speaking at the opening of the World Health Summit in Berlin, WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus highlighted the Hub's achievements in its first five years and the shared goal of a world where every country can rapidly respond to health threats.
