About: International Day of Epidemic Preparedness
The International Day of Epidemic Preparedness is an international day that encourages every individual, every institution and every government to observe the International Day annually "... in an appropriate manner and in accordance with national contexts and priorities, through education and awareness-raising activities, in order to highlight the importance of the prevention of, preparedness for and partnership against epidemics". The United Nations General Assembly designated December 27 as the International Day of Epidemic Preparedness in its Resolution on December 7, 2020. The impuls for designating a specific day to this topic obviously was the experience with the unending and still uncontained coronavirus covid-19 epidemic. The World Health Organization, as well as the governments and leaders around the world have realized, that "There is an urgent need to have resilient and robust health systems, reaching those who are vulnerable or in vulnerable situations."
