From the very beginning, infectious disease has a great threat to life, economy, environment etc at the level of local, regional, national, global. The global health system as currently constituted can provide effectively protection against dynamic array of infectious disease. It has been called into question by recent outbreaks “Ebola, Zica, Dengue, Middle east respiratory syndrome, Severe acute respiratory syndrome, and most alarming Covid19 at present. In past century, Spanish flu(1918-1920),Asian flue(1957-1958), Cholera(1961), Plague (1994) simultaneously caused 30-1000million, 1-2million, 21000, 143000 death. And in this century, SARS (2002-2003), Influenza (2009), Ebola(2014-2016) simultaneously caused 774,284000,11325,38000 death. At present situation the corona virus has already affected 200 countries in the world and killed about 500000 around the world. They all have great impact on economy also. With respect tp outbreak, there are obvious costs to the health system in terms of medical treatments, PPE, and other stuffs. GDP growth decline 8% point 2013-2014 during Ebola outbreak.

Threat in economy At recent study estimated per annum cost of pandemic influenza at roughly 500 billion us dollar (0.6% global income). The covid19 can cause dramatically economic fall it is thought. Social Risk As with the outbreak, the economic risk of AMR begins with increase cost to the health system. Resistance infection demand use of more expensive line of treatment.
