Global infectious disease surveillance: bridge a 30-metre gap between the International Civil Aviation Organization and the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Publication date: Jan 31, 2025

The global aviation industry faced unprecedented challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the international civil aviation industry now has strong incentives to prevent and control future pandemics. It is almost unbelievable that the headquarters of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is located right next to the headquarters of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). While the vision and mission of these two organizations may seem completely different, we propose that ICAO could adopt a system similar to that of WADA to enhance its contribution to global infectious disease surveillance.
