The Role of Global Collaboration in Combating Future Pandemics: Lessons from COVID-19

Authors

  • Ian Park

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the critical importance of global collaboration in managing and mitigating the spread of infectious diseases. It revealed strengths in certain aspects of global health cooperation, such as vaccine development, while also exposing gaps in pandemic preparedness, response coordination, and equitable access to healthcare resources. This paper examines the role of global collaboration in combating future pandemics, focusing on key lessons learned from the COVID-19 crisis. It highlights the importance of strengthening international health frameworks, enhancing data sharing, building resilient health systems, and ensuring equitable distribution of vaccines and medical resources. By examining both successes and challenges from COVID-19, the paper offers strategic recommendations to better prepare for future pandemics.
