Participants in the Geneva Preparedness Forum 2022: Measuring Pandemic Preparedness, held on the sidelines of the World Health Assembly in May 2022, noted the importance of a holistic response involving every part of government to counter pandemics. Therefore, mounting an effective response calls for specialized capabilities and enablers within and beyond public health systems. Elements of preparednessĪs COVID-19 demonstrated, pandemics touch all of society. In addition, this article outlines four action areas to help leaders contextualize survey findings, as well as broader lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure that public health systems are ready for whatever crises the future brings. But how will they know if those investments will prove effective when the next crisis strikes? To help leaders gauge and track their state of readiness, identify opportunities for improvement, and ensure adequate funding continues to flow toward these efforts, McKinsey designed a Pandemic Preparedness Survey.
Many governments are investing in strengthening their pandemic preparedness. This article is a collaborative effort by Marie-Renée B-Lajoie, Matt Craven, Paul Dinkin, Lieven Van der Veken, and Matt Wilson, representing views from McKinsey’s Public Sector Practice.
