BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 15. A new pandemic still remains a problem, and the main question is when and where it will start, former President of Croatia Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic said at the panel session themed "Health for All" within the XI Global Baku Forum, Trend reports.
"We are neglecting this. Many issues cast doubt on the future of humanity. The main topic on the agenda remains the question - how to protect the world from the next pandemic?
Establishing pandemic surveillance is necessary. Every state does an evaluation of itself. The bad points were concealed, but there were no good aspects. Eliminating the weak points is essential to averting a pandemic,” she added.
