Answer: December 27
Notes: The International Day of Epidemic Preparedness is observed every year on December 27 to promote the importance of preventing, preparing for, and partnering against epidemics. The day emphasizes the urgent need to invest in health systems capable of preventing, detecting, and responding effectively to infectious disease outbreaks. It was first observed on 27 December 2020 following a call by the United Nations General Assembly to raise awareness about epidemic preparedness and global cooperation. An epidemic is defined as a sudden outbreak of a disease that affects a large number of people in a specific region, community, or population.
