For Think Global Health, Amanda McClelland, our Senior Vice President of Prevent Epidemics, explains how early-warning approaches can help minimize the spread of infectious disease outbreaks. “This shift from reactive to proactive response is particularly important in light of climate change, which amplifies the impacts of infectious disease spread and brings infectious diseases to new areas by shifting temperatures and weather events.” Resolve to Save Lives is using these approaches with partners in Ethiopia, Nigeria and Uganda to monitor and respond to indicators that suggest an increased risk of an outbreak before a first case has been found.
