Program Overview

During the past 100 years, life expectancy more than doubled in
developed countries. In the last few decades, however, thirty new
infectious diseases have emerged and one of them—AIDS—is
becoming perhaps the most devastating epidemic in history. New
diseases travel the globe with unprecedented rapidity, and older
killers that once seemed controllable are roaring back with a
vengeance. How Safe Are We? examines the most critical threats we
face today—including avian flu—and the pressing need to
strengthen global public health systems.
