COVID-19 won’t be the last pandemic, but is the world prepared for the next one? COVID-19 exposed underlying vulnerabilities in public health systems that made them less resilient to acute threats than expected. The learning: there’s much work to be done. McKinsey partner Matt Craven, and senior partners Matt Wilson and Lieven Van der Veken, identified four areas where governments can focus their efforts to build greater confidence in readiness. Learn more about this strategic approach to managing future threats, and dive deeper with these insights on vaccine innovation and resilience, boosting COVID-19 vaccine uptake in Africa, improving social determinants of health, strengthening the public health workforce, and more.
