It's hard nowadays to turn on the news without hearing about a new threat to our health. New or reemerging diseases, talk of possible epidemics or pandemics, natural disasters, chemical and nuclear accidents, climate change and its consequences, and even bioterrorism are threats we must all take seriously.
International public health security is more important than ever. World Health Day-celebrated every April to mark the birthday of the World Health Organization (WHO) is using "Invest in Health, Build a Safer Future" as its theme for 2007. The choice reflects one of the most vital concerns of our times: how to stay safe in a globalize world, where diseases can spread from one continent to another in a matter of hours.
The threats can seem overwhelming, yet the same forces of globalization that allow diseases to move freely around the world can also be used to build multinational partnerships to protect global health, by expanding access to drugs and vaccines, by improving public health infrastructure in developing countries, and by strengthening the health work force worldwide.
The International Health Regulations, recently broadened and expanded by WHO, will come into effect next June, requiring greater international cooperation and more transparent reporting of disease outbreaks and other threats to public health. In the Americas, the Pan American Health Organization is working with its member countries to strengthen local health systems and epidemiological surveillance, incorporating new response methods and the latest tools.
