Infectious diseases remain a major challenge to global health systems, with significant implications for public health, economies, and societal well-being. This research paper systematically examines the impact of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs), antimicrobial resistance (AMR), healthcare access disparities, and the role of vaccination in global health. Using a review of existing literature and case studies, the paper analyzes the strategies employed to prevent and manage infectious diseases. It concludes with a call for enhanced global cooperation, equitable healthcare access, and investment in research and development to strengthen health systems globally and reduce the burden of infectious diseases.
