Article summary

International Development Secretary, Anne-Marie Trevelyan, has called for a long-term approach to combating disease outbreaks during World Bank Meetings. According to Trevelyan, the World Bank should help developing countries strengthen their economies and healthcare systems, which in turn would help them better deal with future outbreaks of disease. It is hoped that improving the ability of developing countries to combat future pandemics will reduce the risk of diseases spreading to the UK.
