GISRS laid the foundation for protection through collaboration

全球流感监测和应对系统通过合作保护奠定基础

The 70th anniversary of Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS) is a reminder of the extraordinary work that scientists have already undertaken to protect humanity against pandemic threats, says the Pandemic Prevention Institute at the Rockefeller Foundation.

洛克菲勒基金会大流行预防研究所表示，全球流感监测和应对系统 (GISRS) 成立70周年提醒人们，科学家们已经开始开展保护人类免受大流行威胁的伟大工作。
