Mashup Score: 0Better epidemic preparedness through strategic legal reform in Nigeria - Prevent Epidemics - 1 year(s) ago

Health care workers are on the frontlines of epidemics. Yet even as we celebrate them as heroes, we fail to keep them safe. In 2022, @ResolveTSL advocated for better protections and support for health care workers—and we'll continue to do so. https://t.co/IMzAavDRFc https://t.co/XiqP27sW9X

On average, one new deadly organism is identified every year. It’s crucial that we learn from both the failures and successes of past epidemics to make sure we’re prepared for new health threats. https://t.co/dKlo85LkGk https://t.co/FQMiYwSQnB
