The problem of the constant flow of tourists in the EU countries affects the vulnerable segments of
the population, most of the budget is spent on the development of tourism infrastructure and
business development. The flow of tourists contributes to the spread of diseases such as dengue,
chikungunya and Zika.
1.Disease-carrying mosquitoes are spreading through Europe. Tiger mosquitoes are now found in
more than half of France. A2020 report by the French parliament warned their spread poses "a
major health risk" for decades to come. The fight against tiger mosquitoes has taken a more serious
turn in Asian regions where they’re endemic. Experiments aiming to infect them with a specific type
of bacteria and sterilise the females have yielded encouraging results in China.
3. Enhancing healthcare facilities and resources for infectious disease prevention, detection, and
treatment.
Investing in healthcare workforce training and capacity building.
Addressing healthcare disparities to ensure equal access to care across regions.
Enhancing International Cooperation:

opposing viewpoints.
Improve national surveillance systems for early detection and monitoring of infectious diseases,
including the establishment of a centralized database for real-time data collection and analysis.
Enhance coordination between healthcare facilities, laboratories, and public health agencies to
ensure prompt reporting and response to disease outbreaks.
c. Strengthening Vaccine Strategies:
Develop a comprehensive national vaccination strategy that includes ensuring equitable access to
vaccines, promoting vaccination campaigns, and addressing vaccine hesitancy through targeted
education and awareness programs.
Collaborate with international partners and organizations to enhance vaccine research,
production, and distribution, while safeguarding France's vaccine supply for domestic needs.
International Cooperation:
Actively participate in international health organizations, such as the World Health Organization
(WHO), and advocate for the development of robust global health frameworks to coordinate
responses to infectious disease outbreaks.
Support the establishment of an early warning system for rapid sharing of disease-related
information, best practices, and timely response coordination.
c. International Aid and Capacity Building:
Develop and regularly update a national preparedness plan for infectious disease outbreaks,
including provisions for surge capacity, stockpiling essential medical supplies, and establishing
rapid response teams.
Conduct regular simulations and drills to test the readiness and effectiveness of the preparedness
plan and identify areas for improvement.
Protection of French Interests:
Strengthen domestic manufacturing capabilities for essential medical supplies, including vaccines,
therapeutics, and personal protective equipment, to reduce dependence on foreign suppliers during
times of crisis.
Promote diversification of supply chains and establish strategic stockpiles of critical medical
resources to ensure uninterrupted access during emergencies.
c. Security and Border Controls:
Enhance border surveillance and screening measures to detect and prevent the entry of infectious
diseases

Country: France
France has developed a comprehensive National Strategy for Preventing Infections and
Antibiotic Resistance for the period 2022-2025, which focuses on four key areas:
prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and research. However, despite our efforts, we still face
significant challenges in the fight against infectious diseases, and we recognize the need
for global cooperation and coordination.
One of the main problems we face is the overuse and misuse of antibiotics. This leads to
the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which pose a severe threat to public
health. To address this issue, France has implemented a national campaign to reduce the
use of antibiotics and promote responsible use. We have also established a national
surveillance system to monitor antibiotic resistance and promote appropriate prescribing
practices.
In terms of policy initiatives, France supports increased funding for research and
development of new treatments and vaccines for infectious diseases. We also advocate for
the implementation of global strategies to prevent and control outbreaks of infectious
diseases, such as the Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of
Noncommunicable Diseases.
Thank you.
