About this Research Topic
This is partly due to the global life pattern in the 21st century making world as a global village. Individuals’ movements in global society have been facilitated rapidly and the current advance in travel
and trade across different geographical locations allow rapid spread of any newly identified infectious agents. Therefore, relatively the likelihood of an outbreak and pandemic increases if there is no suitably coordinated active global surveillance in place.
The current phenomenon of global health demands a global joint action the is supported by clinical findings, epidemiological facts, and prediction modelling come as the results of health professional research and decision made by population health strategists.
The extent of global success in sustaining global health and protecting population health heavily rely on the continuous high quality research outputs.
To better control fast-spreading diseases, well-coordinated global surveillance systems need to be optimized, which essentially include sharing of information from the clinical setting, public health officials and modern epidemiological analyses of valid available data. These will equip the world health leadership well with an accurate projection of disease development.
This research topic, published in Frontiers in Epidemiology, is aimed at accommodating recent, up-to-date research that have examined clinical areas, investigations of the global map of disease spread, analyses of the health system planning, management, performance and modelling that project the future of public health threats.
