(MENAFN) Bill Gates says he is hopeful that President Trump's administration will take the necessary steps to be able to respond to a global pandemic or act of bio-terrorism.
Mr Gates believes the world is currently not prepared to cope with such an event.
He has said that the ability to cope with a pandemic requires government investment, co-ordination and planning among a variety of agencies including academia and the military.
Mr Gates met Donald Trump to discuss these issues in December.
