Over the past 35 years, dozens of new and frightening diseases have
been identified, among them hepatitis C virus, Ebola and other
hemorrhagic viruses, Legionnaires' disease, Nipahencephalitis, H5N1
influenza, SARS, the new arenavirus Lujo, which causes hemorrhagic
fever in its victim s, and, most pervasively, the hum an
immunodeficiency virus (HIV/AIDS). The emergence of H5N1 avian flu
in 1996, coupled with the recent declaration of an H1N1 influenza
pandemic, demonstrate the urgent need for countries to have
pandemic preparedness plans in place. For nations that are
unprepared, a pandemic could result in devastating social,
economic, and health consequences, including a high number of
fatalities. Nowhere is this more so the case than in countries with
underdeveloped health care systems.
