  • Title: The past and present of pandemic management: health diplomacy, international epidemiological surveillance, and COVID-19.
    Author: D'Abramo F.
    Journal: Hist Philos Life Sci; 2021 Apr 30; 43(2):64. PubMed ID: 33929621.
    Abstract:
    The establishment of international sanitary institutions, which took place in the context of rivalry among the great European powers and their colonial expansion in Asia, allowed for the development of administrative systems of international epidemiological surveillance as a response to the cholera epidemics at the end of the nineteenth century. In this note, I reflect on how a historical analysis of the inception of international epidemiological surveillance and pandemic management helps us to understand what is happening in the COVID-19 pandemic today.
