Many organizations and businesses attempt to unify and fund practices that would improve the situation.   Health care plays a key role when it comes to treatment, education, and research.   Without these developments, infectious diseases would not be contained.  

Over the years, countries have cooperated on infectious disease control, through international sanitary treaties initially, and later through the World Health Organization (WHO) - international cooperation is nothing new. But, we are facing dynamic global circumstances confronting the control of infectious disease every day. Countries can no longer tackle emerging infectious diseases by themselves, especially those developing ones. Globalization is a major cause, as diseases are not restrained by national boundaries.  

Countries are putting more focus on building national capacities for routine preventive measures, including public health actions at ports, airports, land borders and other possible means of transport for international travel. The obligation to the detection and response to public health emergencies of international concern are much broader as well.

Health care systems are also focusing on facilities, treatment/medicines, vaccines, educational pamphlets, and other medical based ideas to contain or prevent diseases.   The south-east Asian outbreak of avian flu has brought consequences, such as the death of more than 150 million birds (WHO, 2005).   Results of the disease have included the destruction of agricultural crops, which has had a profound effect on the rural farmers who depend on birds for earnings and food.   Most cases have been reported in the countryside.   As for HIV, around 14000 new infections are uncovered daily).   Over ninety percent are in developing countries and around seventy-five percent of these cases are transmitted through sexual contacts (Fidler, 1996).   Since the spread of infectious diseases occurs so rapidly, the steps taken do not develop positive results quickly enough, most importantly but there is a need of money and support or efforts to contain infectious diseases.

As a result, WHO is now working closely with ministries of health and various public health organizations to support international surveillance of circulating influenza strains, and she has issued a series of recommended strategic actions for responding to the influenza pandemic threat.
