The article highlights the fact that public health is an element of the security dimension that must be included on the priority agenda of specialists in the fields of international relations and security studies.

Global trends and prospects for the implications that can be generated are likely to change the world’s security landscape, and increasing global connectivity increases the degree of uncertainty about public health implications.

On the other hand, the new types of wars, increasingly interconnected with various forms of risk materialization, make this mission more difficult.
