Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The resurgence of infectious diseases such as Ebola and measles, along with new avian flu cases, highlights significant challenges in global health security. The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda is particularly concerning, with over 1,000 cases and a high risk of spreading to neighboring countries. Concurrently, measles outbreaks in multiple US counties underscore the impact of vaccine hesitancy and misinformation. Additionally, avian flu cases in poultry and wild animals pose a risk of zoonotic transmission. These issues are exacerbated by gaps in public health infrastructure and inconsistent vaccine policies, which hinder effective outbreak response and control.
