	Emergency health kits World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO Open external link (46) Add to my MEDBOX WHO has developed standardized health kits of medicines and medical supplies to meet different health needs in humanitarian emergencies and disasters. These kits are developed to provide reliable and affordable medicines and supplies quickly to those in need. The kits are used by United Nations agencies, nongovernmental organizations and national governments. Based primarily on WHO’s Essential Medicines list and guidelines on treatment of specific medical conditions, the contents of the kits are frequently reviewed and updated to adapt to changing needs based on experience in emergency situations. A certain number of kits are prepositioned in strategic locations to be mobilized quickly in times of need. Long term agreements with suppliers are also in place to ensure rapid shipment wherever needed Tags: emergency, emergency health kits, Measles, Cholera, Trauma, non-communicable diseases, Pneumonia, undernutrition, blood transfusion, training material, Online Courses, emergency situations, essential medical supply, essential medicines list, disasters, conflict, Natural Disasters, hazards, humanitarian aid, humanitarian needs, Source: https://www.who.int/emergencies/emergenc
	Manual de Biossegurança Laboratorial World Health Organization WHO (2021) C_WHO View PDF(19) Download (12) Add to my MEDBOX Quarta Edição. Esta quarta edição do manual se baseia no esquema de avaliação de risco apresentado na terceira edição. Uma avaliação completa, baseada em evidências e transparente dos riscos permite que as medidas de segurança sejam equilibradas com o risco real de trabalhar com agentes biológicos, caso a caso. Isso permitirá que os países implementem políticas e práticas de biossegurança e biosseguridade laboratoriais economicamente viáveis e sustentáveis que sejam relevantes para suas circunstâncias e prioridades individuais.A necessidade de atualizar as diretrizes de biossegurança de laboratórios internacionais faz parte de uma iniciativa mais ampla para globalizar a biossegurança e enfatizar os princípios e as abordagens que são acessíveis a países que tenham ampla gama de recursos financeiros, técnicos e regulatório Tags: Laboratory diagnostics, security, PPE, personal protective equipment, maintenance, laboratory biosafety, design, biosecurity, Source: https://iris.paho.org/bitstream/handle/1
	Laboratory biosafety manual World Health Organization WHO WHO (2020) C_WHO View PDF(4457) Download (1241) Add to my MEDBOX 4th edition The WHO Laboratory Biosafety Manual (LBM) has been in broad use at all levels of clinical and public health laboratories, and other biomedical sectors globally, serving as a de facto global standard that presents best practices and sets trends in biosafety. LBM encouraged countries to accept and implement basic concepts in biological safety and to develop national codes of practice for the safe handling of biological agents in laboratories within their geographical borders. This fourth edition of the manual builds on the risk assessment framework introduced in the third edition. A thorough, evidence-based and transparent assessment of the risks allows safety measures to be balanced with the actual risk of working with biological agents on a case-by-case basis. This novel evidence- and risk-based approach will allow optimised resource use and sustainable laboratory biosafety and biosecurity policies and practices that are relevant to their individual circumstances and priorities, enabling equitable access to clinical and public health laboratory tests and biomedical research opportunities without compromising safety Tags: Laboratory diagnostics, security, PPE, personal protective equipment, maintenance, laboratory biosafety, design, biosecurity, Source: https://apps.who.int/iris/rest/bitstream
	Global guidance framework for the responsible use of the life sciences: mitigating biorisks and governing dual-use research World Health Organization WHO (2022) C_WHO View PDF(21) Download (17) Add to my MEDBOX The Global guidance framework for the responsible use of the life sciences: mitigating biorisks and governing dual-use research (the framework) aims to provide values and principles, tools and mechanisms to support Member States and key stakeholders to mitigate and prevent biorisks and govern dual-use research. The framework adopts the One health approach and focuses on the role that responsible life sciences research can play in preventing and mitigating risks caused by accidents, inadvertent or deliberate misuse with the intention to cause harm to humans, nonhuman animals, plants and agriculture, and the environment Tags: biorisk, laboratory biosafety, Biosafety and biosecurity, one health, guidebook, Source: https://apps.who.int/iris/rest/bitstream
	SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequencing for public health goals: Interim guidance, 8 January 2021 World Health Organization WHO (2021) C_WHO View PDF(67) Download (71) Add to my MEDBOX The growing understanding of how sequence information can contribute to improved public health is driving global investments in sequencing facilities and programmes. The falling cost and complexity of generating GSD provides opportunities for expanding sequencing capacity; however, challenges to widespread implementation remain. This document provides policy-makers and stakeholders with guidance on how to maximize the public health benefit of SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequencing activities in the short and long term as the pandemic continues to unfold. Practical considerations for the implementation of a virus genomic sequencing programme and an overview of the public health objectives of genomic sequencing are covered. This guidance focuses on SARS-CoV-2 but is applicable to other pathogens of public health concern Tags: genome, sequencing, sars, research, Source: https://apps.who.int/iris/rest/bitstream

	Genomic sequencing of SARS-CoV-2: a guide to implementation for maximum impact on public health World Health Organization WHO (2021) C_WHO View PDF(71) Download (64) Add to my MEDBOX 8 January 2021 Sequencing enabled the world to rapidly identify SARS-CoV-2 and develop diagnostic tests and other tools for outbreak management. Continued genome sequencing supports the monitoring of the disease’s spread and evolution of the virus. Accelerated integration of genome sequencing into the practices of the global health community is required if we want to be better prepared for the future threats.
