1 Value of Diagnostics in Global health Security Dr Amadou A SALL WHO Collaborating Center for Arboviruses and hemorrhagic fever viruses 1
2 Outline Background on Global Health Security Cases studies Way forward Take home messages 2
3 International Public Health Threat
4 Historical background 14th century: first use of quarantine to prevent bubonic plague from crossing borders 1969: International Health Regulation as global framework for health security against Plague, cholera, smallpox and yellow fever with action at the borders SARS epidemic lead to broadening scope of IHR and reporting of public health emergency of international concern 2007: Pandemic Influenza Preparedness framework «Equal benefit for equal sharing» 4
5 Health Security Two levels Collective level Individual level 5
6 International Health Regulation 2005 Paradigm shift From control of borders to containment at source From diseases list to all public health threats From preset measures to adapted responses
7 Public Health Emergency International Concern Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC ) an extraordinary event which is determined to constitute a public health risk to other States through the international spread of disease and to potentially require a coordinated international response. This definition implies a situation that is: - serious, sudden, unusual or unexpected; - carries implications for public health beyond the affected State s national border; and - may require immediate international action. 7
8 High political level involvement in outbreak diagnostics Dengue Cape Verde 2009 EVD Guinea Rift Valley Fever Mauritania 2010
9 Global health risk Emergence and spread of new microbes, especially zoonoses Rapid spread of diseases across borders due to travel, trade and the migratory patterns of animals Antimicrobial resistance Potential for accidental release, theft or illicit use of dangerous microbes 9
10 Global health security agenda Focus at 2 levels of action Strengthening health security and preparedness globally. Improving preparedness at country and regional levels, Objectives Prevent avoidable epidemics Detect threat early Respond rapidly and effectively 10
11 Number of Cases Emergence process Readiness Rapid Early Response Detection Amplification Control Opportunity TIME 11
12 EVD in West Africa: a public health emergency of international concern Data up to August
13 13 Infection and transmission routes
14 EVD outbreak: Timeline of events 6 October: First secondary case of Ebola outside Africa: Spain 14
15 Situation in Guinea December 2013 to September 2015 Phase II: Adapted strategy Phase I: response as usual Phase III: getting to Zero 15
16 Role of diagnostics laboratory during the outbreak Phase I Identify case to support response and control Phase II Identify case to support response and control Speed is critical Other parameters (viral load, biochemistry, hematology, electrolytes ) Diagnostics tools evaluation (diagnostic & surveillance) Phase III Identify case to support response and control Point of care and rapid Transmission chains identification Support cinical trial and research projects Diagnostics tools evaluation 16
17 Deployment and field evaluation of VHF diagnostics tests 1. Route from Dakar to field trip site at Kedougou (700km) 2. Kedougou field station 3. Laboratory at Kedougou field station on arrival 4. Dry PCR mixes: 4x screening mixes, 10x patient mixes, RNA positive controls 5. PCR flow line up : Extraction, PCR 1-3, cyclers at far end. 6. Extraction site 7. PCR 1 (mastermix) site 8. PCR 2 (samples meet mix) site 9. PCR 3 (positive controls) site 10. Mobile PCR-cyclers 11. Bandafasi health post 12. Bandafasi laboratory 13. Electricity source from vehicle provided through laboratory window 14. PCR flow in Bandafasi laboratory 15. Mobile PCR-cyclers in Bandafasi laboratory
