What The Pandemic Institute will do
The G7 has agreed an ambitious mission to have diagnostics, treatments and vaccines ready within 100 days of a new threat. This recognises that the first 100 days after the start of an outbreak are crucial to changing its course and preventing it from becoming a pandemic.
The Pandemic Institute has been created to accelerate the response to emerging infections. Together with our international partners, the Institute will identify pathogens of pandemic potential before they spill-over to humans, and help countries build their capacity to prepare for and respond to future threats. The Institute will also invest in facilities and research to accelerate the development of diagnostics, medicines and vaccines. And it will improve understanding of how we recover from, and build resilience to, future threats. Across its work, the Institute will adopt a One Health approach, recognising that the health of animals, humans and the environment are closely linked.
