Components of A Strong Public Health Infrastructure

Write a 2- to 3-page paper (excluding the title and reference page) answering the following questions:

  • What components of a strong public health infrastructure should have been in place to contain this disease?
  • Describe the lessons learned. What updates should be made to the emergency preparedness plan?
  • Apply system thinking tools to analyze how to prevent future outbreaks and/or improve future outcomes.
  • Answer questions 2, 3, 7, 8, and 9 from the end of the case study.

Use current APA formatting to style your paper and to cite your sources. Integrate your sources into the paragraphs. Use internal citations pointing to evidence in the literature and supporting your ideas. You will need to include a reference page listing those sources.
