“To contain a naturally occurring outbreak, a lab accident, or a bioterrorist attack, the first response has to be the health system that identifies the pathogen, does the surveillance, finds its origin, and promotes measures to limit its damage. We must expand and sustain funding for the GHSA, the world’s vehicle for building resilient public health infrastructure.”
