1 Pandemic Influenza Preparedness to Protect HEALTH FOR ALL Building Sustainable and Resilient Capacity for Pandemic Response Weigong Zhou Global Influenza Program (GIP) Influenza Preparedness and Response (IPR) Infectious Hazard Management (IHM), WHE, WHO

2 Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Plans in Member States, June

3 Evolution of WHO Guidelines on Pandemic Influenza Preparedness: Pandemic Influenza Risk Management (PIRM),

Highlights of PIRM Framework: the Risk-based and Integrated Approaches Promote all-hazards approach in Emergency Risk Management for Health Strengthen whole of government and whole of society

4 Highlights of PIRM Framework: the Risk-based and Integrated Approaches Promote all-hazards approach in Emergency Risk Management for Health Strengthen whole of government and whole of society approach to risk management Emphasize risk-based approaches with high-level guidance on risk and severity assessment Uncouple global phases from national actions Introducing flexibility in countries for planning and response Incorporate new developments e.g. PIP Framework

9 Pandemic Preparedness Planning, JEE, and NAPHS in WHO Member States, May

10 JEE Indicators Mapped with Pandemic Preparedness Capacity Requirements in The Pandemic Preparedness Checklist 30/48 indicators in 15/19 technical areas Prevent Detect Respond Points of Entry P1.1 D1.1 R1.1 POE1 P2.1 D1.2 R1.2 POE2 P3.3 D1.3 R2.1 P4.1 D2.1 R2.2 P4.2 D2.2 R2.3 P6.2 D2.3 R4.1 P7.2 D3.1 R4.3 D3.2 R5.1 D4.2 R5.2 R5.3 R5.4 R5.5

11 From Strategy to Practice: Synergizing with existing mechanisms, promoting collaboration and partnership Synergizing with existing mechanisms: IHR core capacities Joint External Evaluation (JEE) National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS) Link with regional strategies and/or frameworks e.g., APSED III Strengthen collaborations with partners and among existing networks for pandemic influenza preparedness in the context of strengthening IHR core capacities and health security

12 For public health emergency preparedness APSED III: Two Tiers Approach Hazard specific Generic (All Hazard)

13 All Hazards vs Hazard Specific Preparedness Capabilities Pandemic Influenza Response Actions Capacities Hazard specific: capacities required to address specific needs in pandemic Influenza response GISRS Lab&Surveillance Risk & Severity Assessment Pharmaceuticals ( Vaccine, antivirals, etc.) Public Health measures All hazards: capacities required to manage broad health security threats IHR MEF Annual reporting, JEE, SimEx, AAR NAPHS IHR Core Capacities Regional Strategies, e.g., APSED III Health Systems Strengthening Expert Networks & Emergency programs

14 Advance Science to Address Unmet Public Health Needs in Pandemic Preparedness

15 Key Messages Pandemic influenza is unpredictable but recurring events that can have serious consequences on human health and economic wellbeing Advance planning and investment in preparedness to ensure the capacities for pandemic response is crucial for mitigating the risk and impact of a pandemic and saving lives WHO is providing a package of strategy, practical guidance and tools to support pandemic preparedness planning Pandemic influenza preparedness could benefit from synergizing with existing mechanisms in strengthening IHR core capacity and the development of national action plan for health security Pandemic influenza preparedness strengthens IHR core capacity and health security and should be an essential part of the country planning processes
