Non-communicable diseases continue to be a high priority in both developed destinations as well as emerging markets.



Ebola, Zika, and other global health security incidents have highlighted the need for better enterprise business continuity and public health preparedness plans, so  organizations are stepping up to prepare for the next incident.
