England's chief medical officer, Chris Whitty, has warned that another pandemic as large as the Covid-19 crisis is inevitable.
He expressed concern over the UK's limited intensive care capacity, stating it's a political decision that leaves the country vulnerable in emergencies.
Whitty emphasizes the need for a robust NHS workforce and rapid scientific research to better handle future health crises.
He also highlights the importance of addressing health inequalities, as they exacerbate the impact of pandemics.
