Global Health Protection Programme
Infectious disease outbreaks occur on a regular basis and respect no borders as they take their
toll. Epidemics threaten population health, creating enormous human suffering and potentially
causing devastating economic losses. It is therefore crucial for societies – in Germany and across
the world – to be able to rely on resilient health systems that can respond effectively to popula-
tion needs, both under normal circumstances and in the event of outbreaks.
