В этом руководстве использован комплексный подход к укреплению системы здравоохранения на границах с целью оказания поддержки национальным координационным цент...рам по ММСП и другим национальным учреждениям в разработке и осуществлении основанных на фактических данных планов действий по развитию возможностей по ММСП в пунктах пересечения границы. Этот подход включает в себя перемещение лиц, совершающих поездки, и багажа, грузов, контейнеров, перевозочных средств, товаров и почтовых посылок через наземные переходы, а также взаимодействие с соседними пограничными сообществами. При необходимости в ходе оценки риска могут учитываться и другие факторы.

Laboratory Biossafety Manual
Updated Interim guidance 29 July 2020
The provision of safe water, sanitation and waste management and hygienic conditions is essential for preventing and for protecting human health during all infectious disease outbreaks, including of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Ensuring evidenced-based ...and consistently applied WASH and waste management practices in communities, homes, schools, marketplaces, and healthcare facilities will help prevent human-to-human transmission of pathogens including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

This document provides countries with recommendations for structuring a public health entomology laboratory network. The document will help countries to identify their areas of need and determine how the entomology network can be strengthened, especially in the context of a decentralized health syst...em. The recommendations also consider the different degrees of development and different entomological research needed to support disease prevention and control activities.

In September, 2017, human monkeypox re-emerged in Nigeria, 39 years after the last reported case. We aimed to describe the clinical and epidemiological features of the 2017–18 human monkeypox outbreak in Nigeria.
The Epidemiological Alerts are released in order to provide information about the occurrence of international public health events which have implications or could have implications for the countries and territories of the Americas; as well as recommendations issued by the Pan American Health Organi...zation.
The Epidemiological Updates are released as new information becomes available regarding events previously shared through Epidemiological Alerts.

This Guide provides practical guidance for governments regarding how to effectively communicate with communities during the recovery phase following an emergency. It explains how to identify communication needs, and presents “best fit” communication methods and strategies to deploy to support Di...saster Recovery Frameworks (DRF) and recovery strategies.
The Guide is divided into six sections, as follows:
SECTION 1 Good Practice Principles for Effective Communication
SECTION 2 Barriers to Effective Communication
SECTION 3 How to Identify Communication Needs during Recovery
SECTION 4 Communication Methods for Recovery Planning and Operations
SECTION 5 Developing a Communication Plan
SECTION 6 Key Take-away Messages

The GO training package was developed by the World Health Organization for use by staff, consultants and partners who are part of the emergency response, so that they can work safely as part of the teams working to bring the outbreak under control.
Training outline:
Module 1: Pre-deployment tr...aining
Module 2: Introduction to Ebola
Module 3: Global Ebola response
Module 4: Pillars of the global Ebola response
Module 5: Working with WHO

The GHS Index is intended to be a key resource in the face of increasing risks of high-consequence and globally catastrophic biological events and in light of major gaps in international financing for preparedness. These risks are magnified by a rapidly changing and interconnected world; increasing ...political instability; urbanization; climate change; and rapid technology advances that make it easier, cheaper, and faster to create and engineer pathogens.
Key findings from the study of 195 countries:
• Out of a possible 100 points, the average GHS Index score across 195 countries was 40.2.
• The majority of high- and middle-income countries do not score above 50.
• Action is urgently needed to improve countries’ readiness for high-consequence infectious disease outbreaks.

Since the re-emergence of monkeypox in Nigeria in September 2017, the Nigeria Centre
for Disease Control(NCDC) has continued to receive reports and respond to cases of the
disease from States across the country. Between September 2017 when the outbreak started and November 2018, about 300 suspecte...d cases had been reported from 26 out of 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory. The highest number of cases were reported from States in the South-South region of Nigeria. Monkeypox is a zoonotic orthopox virus, which presents in humans with symptoms such as fever, headache, body pain, malaise, lymphadenopathy (enlargement of glands),
sore throat and the typical generalised vesiculopustular rash. Transmission is via direct or
indirect contact with infected animals, human, or contaminated materials.

El documento ayudará a los países a identificar las áreas de necesidades y determinar cómo se puede reforzar la red de entomología, especialmente en el contexto de un sistema de salud descentralizado. Las recomendaciones también tienen en cuenta los diferentes grados de desarrollo y las difere...ntes investigaciones entomológicas necesarias para dar soporte a las acciones de prevención y control de las enfermedades.
