How quickly should we able to detect and respond to a disease outbreak? In a meeting we attended at Georgetown University this week, public health gurus Dr. Anthony Fauci (3rd from left in photo) and Dr. Tom Frieden (2nd from left) lifted up the global 7-1-7 strategy as a simple, fast, and scalable framework to evaluate every outbreak – moving preparedness from “planning and more planning” to “find a problem; fix a problem."

We cannot prevent the next pandemic, but we can work collaboratively towards a globally identified goal to minimize the impact of our next emergent event.
