Pivoting is essential in public health for several reasons:
Adaptation to New Evidence: As new data and findings emerge, it may become clear that existing strategies are no longer effective. A pivot allows for the incorporation of the latest evidence into practice. Response to Emerging Threats: New or re-emerging diseases can arise unexpectedly. Pivoting enables a rapid and effective response to these emerging threats. Resource Optimization: Shifting focus can help optimize the use of limited resources by directing them towards areas of greatest need or potential impact.
