Global Health Security Challenges
Most outbreaks do not threaten global health security
Exceptions (AIDS, SARS, H1N1 influenza) are rare and costly
AIDS has cost 30 million lives and 200 billion dollars
Early detection and effective response can truncate outbreaks
Inter-agency and International partnerships are essential
