WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 10th May, 2019) The United States has released its first Global Health Security Strategy aimed to protect America and its partners from infectious disease threats, White House Spokesperson Sarah Sanders said in a press release.
"Today, the Trump Administration is releasing its Global Health Security Strategy, the first full-fledged strategy of its kind. The Strategy defines the actions the Administration will take to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats, whether naturally occurring, accidental, or deliberate," Sanders said on Thursday.
