The world remains “dangerously unprepared” for the next pandemic, according to a report released Monday by the world’s largest humanitarian network.
The report, released by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, cites the Johns Hopkins–backed 2021 Global Health Security Index, which rated nearly 200 countries on health emergency preparedness. On a scale of 100, no country ranked above an 80—and the global average was a mere 39.
