The World Health Organization reports that the world is on the verge of a global pandemic -- that the question is not if a pandemic will occur, but when. What should the world's governments, public health bodies, research institutions, pharmaceutical industries, and medical communities be doing to prepare for a human H5N1 pandemic? Should spending on vaccine programs be increased? How can governments work with pharmaceutical manufacturers to produce sufficient stocks of antiviral drugs? What kind of public education programs should be put into place? Use this space to share your thoughts.
