The U.S. has come up with its own global strategy to thwart the next pandemic


The Biden administration has launched a new effort to improve the ability of the U.S. to prevent, detect and respond to global health threats. Some experts say the new strategy doesn't go far enough.

The U.S. is already helping the Democratic Republic of Congo with its mpox outbreak, noted a senior administration official who spoke on background at a press call ahead of the announcement. The new strategy also aims to better coordinate efforts across the U.S. government as well as convince other countries and international bodies to make serious financial and political commitments to pandemic preparedness. The senior administration official who spoke on background says the hope is that as Americans see how important this work is Congress will approve more money for next year's budget.
