Abstract

Drawing on what we've learned from recent pandemics, this study paper looks at how important risk management is when dealing with public health crises. Public health events, especially pandemics, put a lot of people at risk around the world. To lessen their effects, we need good risk management methods. This paper looks at recent pandemics like the COVID-19 pandemic, the H1N1 flu pandemic, and the Ebola outbreak to find the main problems and chances in managing risk during public health crises. This paper looks at a lot of literature, policy documents, and case studies to give a thorough look at the risk management models, tactics, and best practices that have been used during different public health situations. It also talks about how planning, cooperation, communication, and adaptability can help improve risk management and lessen the bad effects of pandemics. By putting together what we've learned from past mistakes, this paper gives lawmakers, public health officials, and other interested parties useful information and suggestions on how to improve risk management and get ready for future public health events.
