The Main Threats to Global Health at Present:
Dr. Kluge identifies several primary threats to global health that require immediate attention. Among these challenges are:

a) Infectious Diseases: The ongoing pandemic has highlighted the vulnerability of our global health systems to infectious diseases. Dr. Kluge emphasizes the need for robust surveillance, early detection, and effective response mechanisms to prevent future outbreaks.

b) Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs): The rising burden of NCDs, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and mental health disorders, poses a significant threat to global health. Dr. Kluge emphasizes the importance of prevention, early diagnosis, and accessible treatment options for tackling NCDs.

c) Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR): The emergence of drug-resistant pathogens is a growing concern worldwide. Dr. Kluge stresses the urgent need to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics and develop innovative solutions to combat AMR.

Dr. Kluge emphasizes the necessity of sustainable development and climate adaptation strategies to mitigate the adverse effects on public health.

Dr. Kluge acknowledges the critical shortage of healthcare professionals globally and the subsequent strain on healthcare systems. He highlights several key measures to address the health workforce crisis:

a) Capacity Building: Investing in the education and training of healthcare workers is essential. Dr. Kluge advocates for strengthening primary healthcare systems, improving medical education, and promoting interprofessional collaboration to enhance workforce capacity.

b) Retention and Motivation: Retaining healthcare professionals requires supportive work environments, fair remuneration, and career advancement opportunities. Dr. Kluge emphasizes the need for policies that prioritize the well-being of healthcare workers to improve job satisfaction and retention rates.
