On November 13, 2020 the United Nations General Assembly in Resolution 75/L.18 decides to proclaim December 27 as International Epidemic Preparedness Day.
As the current coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) we are facing demonstrates, major infectious diseases and epidemics have devastating impacts on human life, which is wreaking havoc on long-term social and economic development. Global health crises threaten to overwhelm already overburdened health systems, disrupt global supply chains, and disproportionately destroy the livelihoods of people, particularly women and children, as well as the economies of the poorest and most vulnerable countries.
