Several global health threats are of particular concern today:
Pandemics: Diseases like COVID-19 and influenza can spread rapidly across countries, affecting millions. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR): The rise of drug-resistant pathogens threatens to make many current treatments ineffective. Chronic diseases: Conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer are leading causes of death worldwide. Climate change: Changes in the environment can lead to new patterns of disease transmission and exacerbate existing health issues. Emerging infectious diseases: New diseases continue to appear, often with rapid and unpredictable spread.
