ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: Introducing the 7-1-7 Alliance

The question we face about the next pandemic is not if, but when.

We've seen what can happen when countries aren't prepared to prevent and stop epidemics. With COVID-19, nearly 7 million people have died.

Its economic toll is over $16 trillion and counting.

But it's not just COVID-19. When Ebola erupted in West Africa in 2013, more than 11,000 people died and the toll was $53 billion.

The impacts were life-altering to every single person caught in the virus' path.

There's the farmer who lost his parents. The mother who lost her child.

The child who lost their teacher. These lives could have been saved.

Now we're shaping a new story that will change the future.

It's a story built around "when" and puts us on guard for the next outbreak.

This new story is shaped by three numbers: 7-1-7. Seven – as in seven days to detect a disease outbreak.

One – as in one day to notify public health authorities.

And seven days to complete early response actions.

The 7-1-7 target for the quick detection and response to disease outbreaks works, and it can save lives.

In India, Nipah was detected within seven days thanks to healthcare professionals who received training on its symptoms and what to do when patients showed signs of infection.

Authorities were notified of the outbreak within one day, and a plan of attack to contain Nipah was implemented within seven days.

The 7-1-7 target is a critical tool to making the world a safer place.

Countries have already successfully added it to their preparedness plans.

There's no time to waste. Speed matters.

The 7-1-7 Alliance is a new country-led community to improve detection and response.

Join the 7-1-7 Alliance. Let's work together to build systems, to improve early detection and response. Let's work together now to stop outbreaks before they spread – and prevent epidemics.
