Description

The Secretariat will step up its leadership by: advocating and providing support for the implementation of global disease strategies, including the equitable management of scarce resources at the global and regional level, through the International Coordinating Group on Vaccine Provision; managing the global emergency vaccine, medicine and reagent stockpiles, including through forecasting vaccine stocks and negotiating vaccine prices, will continue through WHO?s networks and partners to ensure availability and access; spearheading the development of a global strategy on viral haemorrhagic fevers; and advocating for the elimination of measles and rubella as part of the Immunization Agenda 2030. The Secretariat will support countries to: implement local prevention and control measures, ensuring access to life-saving interventions, such as vaccines, and to contextualize and implement global strategies, including those for yellow fever, cholera and meningitis; improve cooperation in, and coordination of, epidemic preparedness and response by strengthening regional and subregional networks with partners, including institutes of public health and national centres for disease control, professional associations and international partners; and develop country capabilities for the prevention, detection and control of cholera, viral haemorrhagic fevers, meningitis and yellow fever, including strengthening coordination to build surveillance and laboratory capacity, and scaled-up capabilities to ensure that front-line health workers are protected and able to implement infection prevention and control best practices. The Secretariat will: produce normative products, including outbreak investigation guidance, to shorten the time to confirmation and response for all epidemic-prone diseases; scale up the implementation of strategies for epidemic-prone diseases, including the adoption of new and enabling technologies; implement the global strategy for defeating meningitis by 2030, and together with expert networks, develop global prevention and control policies and guidance; and work with partners and countries to develop a global strategy to prevent and control viral haemorrhagic fevers.
