The International Day of Epidemic Preparedness is observed on December 27 each year. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly to raise awareness about the importance of preventing and preparing for epidemics and pandemics.
The establishment of this day is particularly significant in light of the global impact of health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlighted the need for international cooperation, preparedness, and response to health emergencies.
The International Day of Epidemic Preparedness serves as a reminder of the importance of investing in healthcare systems, early warning systems, research, and global collaboration to prevent and mitigate the impact of epidemics. It also emphasizes the role of individuals, communities, governments, and international organizations in working together to enhance resilience and preparedness against infectious diseases.
