Pediatric Diagnostics and Pandemic Preparedness
Although it is impossible to predict exactly when the next pandemic will occur or which viral family will cause the next outbreak, virologists must prepare for what lies ahead by learning from the past, relying on accurate diagnostic methods, and building a more collaborative and flexible global health system.
In this second CoScience Chapter, we hear from experts in the field on how to prepare for the next unexpected event.
