The Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) is crucial in controlling and preventing a lot of infectious diseases. The GHSA is a group of more than 70 countries that collaborate with international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and private sectors. Their goal is that through collaboration create different plans that will address ongoing infectious threats, like ebola, and plans that will help prevent infectious threats globally. The GHSA strategies and plans allowed ebola to reduce and ultimately provided a framework for how to control future infectious threats and how to improve.

This image shows how different countries in West Africa were severely affected by the Ebola virus. As the graphs show, as weeks passed by ebola infections continued to increase due to a lack of responses. The GHSA was able to help reduce the number of infections in these areas showing that collaboration from different countries helps resolve health threats even if they are prominent in some areas more than others.

The article explains that the beginning of the ebola outbreak had a lack of cooperation between countries and lack of political commitment to global health security mostly because the ebola virus was concentrated in the West African region. The authors emphasized that the GHSA must make sure that international cooperation is available so that countries, including developing countries, have the adequate public health capacities to help resolve epidemics like the ebola virus.

Although most of ebola cases were concentrated in the West Africa region, the CDC chose to educate the public on the measures taken to respond and solve this outbreak. This measure is part of the goal of the global health security agenda since their goal is reduce and prevent infectious diseases in different regions. Such responses as this allow other countries to be prepared if an ebola infection emerges so they can rapidly stop the spread.

The article explains how the unexpected MERS outbreak in Korea was able to be efficiently controlled. They explained that this outbreaks was unexpected and that about 200 primary infections allowed secondary infections to occur and worsening the outbreak. Yet the Ministry of Health and Welfare implemented measures such as identification of cases, quarantining, and risk communication to regional, national, and even international entities to help control and prevent the spread of MERS to other regions. Measures as this show that global health security was prioritized and prevented infectious outbreaks from becoming epidemics or pandemics.

Abstract

The Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome outbreak in the Republic of Korea have given huge impacts in different aspects. Health security is no more a new coinage. Global health security became more realistic in its practical application. In the perspective of global health, it will be helpful to peruse lessons learned from the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and MERS outbreak in Korea.
