Remembering SARS: 10 Years Later - April 12, 2013 - Digital Press Kit
“We have a unique window of opportunity. The world is committed to reducing threats to health and we have new technologies that can take many important disease threats off the table, if we act now.”
“We face a perfect storm of vulnerability. Emerging microbes, resistant microbes that outsmart the drugs used to treat them. Globalization of travel and trade and the greater ease of making deadly organisms in a laboratory place us at greater risk than ever before. ”
Tom Frieden, MD, MPH - Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
“Unfortunately, we tend to think about threats from emerging or man-made diseases primarily during the emergency. Although important progress has been made over the last 10 years, there is a lot that remains to be accomplished.”
“Global health security aims to protect Americans and others around the world from emerging infectious disease outbreaks – whether natural, intentional, or accidental.”
Scott F. Dowell, MD, MPH, RADM, USPHS - Director of Division of Global Disease Detection Emergency Response (DGDDER)
