Listen "H5N1 - The Bird Flu"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we are putting a special focus on the H5N1 bird flu. We explore the ongoing efforts to prepare for future pandemics by speaking with experts like Peter Sousa Hoejskov, who explains the constant risk of zoonotic diseases jumping from animals to humans, and Maria van Kerkhove, who emphasizes the importance of global surveillance and preparedness in the face of potential influenza pandemics. The discussion sheds light on how close human-animal interactions, even in regions like Europe, keep the threat of these diseases ever-present.The insightful contributions from leading scientists provide a comprehensive understanding of why we must remain vigilant and proactive. Tune in to Health in Europe with host Alice Allan to discover what’s being done to protect us all from the next pandemic - not if but when.(Interviews for this podcast were recorded in early May 2024)
