Avoid politicisation. Don’t focus only on epidemics, provide value day-day & have capacity prevent/prepare/respond & surge as needed. If just focus on epidemics over time funding drifts away. Address issues important all the time & you’ll be better able to address epidemics.

Just read that Chinese medical team sent to Italy to fight Covid-19 comprises mostly experienced doctors from Sichuan. Sichuan folks still remember how Italy rescue team during the devastating 2008 Wenchuan earthquake saved many lives. The world needs more help with each other
