"The world needs a new approach to prevent future pandemics killing
millions more victims, a report says.

It says contact between people, wildlife and livestock must be curbed to
cut the risk of bacteria and viruses crossing from animals to humans.

Health care should be provided for people living close to animals in
high-risk areas.

This would help stop outbreaks of disease before they have a chance to
spread more widely.

Common approaches are needed, it says, so that pandemic prevention
becomes commonplace around the world.

It would be hundreds of times cheaper to prevent outbreaks than to
suffer the grim consequences, the authors maintain."
