The overarching goal of PREPARED “PREpardness and PAndemic REsponse in Deutschland“ is to develop a blueprint for a feasible, collaborative, adaptable, and sustainable pandemic management and preparedness infrastructure within the NUM community. This will help to enable coordinated, targeted, and evidence-based responses to threats to patient care and public health caused by future pandemics.
