Bill Gates, the co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), has called on governments across the world to get ready for the next global pandemic that will hit the globe.

Gates said all nations, including Nigeria, should invest massively in primary healthcare systems that will avert avoidable deaths, The Cable reports.

The multi-billionaire said the deaths from the healthcare deficit in Africa are more than the mortality rate from the COVID-19 pandemic.

He noted:

"...the deaths from the deficits and primary health care are dramatically higher every year than the total deaths going on in Africa from this pandemic, and so I hope it causes everyone in society to look at these health issues.”

“The unfortunate reality is that COVID‐19 might not be the last pandemic. We don’t know when the next one will strike, or whether it will be a flu, a coronavirus, or some new disease we’ve never seen before.

“But what we do know is that we can’t afford to be caught flat‐footed again. The threat of the next pandemic will always be hanging over our heads—unless the world takes steps to prevent it."
