Throughout human history, diseases have been linked to many aspects of life and even the rise and fall of entire civilizations. Biological, social, political and economic forces have all influenced how the epidemic is managed. Epidemics have altered history in how they developed and the impact they had. In turn, the management of epidemics has been influenced by history and governments as humans have learned to cope with epidemics and the social and political implications that arise from them. Today, biomedical engineers, politicians, historians, and social scientists are leading the battle in an effort to understand and combat infectious diseases. This report will explore the management of the epidemic and its historical relationship with the international political system. We will study issues ranging from the social effects of epidemics, to observing today's public policy debates regarding epidemics, to the possible reduction or even dissolution of conflicts between nations in exchange for food and medical technology. Research has made it abundantly clear that humans must be vigilant in fighting epidemics. By drawing on multiple disciplines, it is possible to implement a sound disease management plan that will control and reduce the spread and mortality of infectious agents worldwide, as well as reduce tension and conflict between the developed and developing worlds. way of development. Diseases and epidemics have marked the history of humanity since the first civilizations established themselves. Considering that a large population can contribute to infectious diseases and that humans share nearly 300 transmissible agents with animals, the outbreak of epidemics is inextricably intertwined with the revolution... middle of the document... event: implications for the 21st century".
