Tóm tắt :

The World Health Organization (WHO) has an essential role to play in supporting Member States toprepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies with public health consequences. Operationalreadiness for known and unknown hazards and emergencies requires a risk-informed and structuredapproach to building capacities within organizations such as WHO offices and national ministriesof health. Under the flagship priority programme on emergency risk management of the WHORegional Office for South-East Asia, a readiness training programme consisting of four modules wasimplemented during 2017–2018, involving staff from WHO country offices as well as from the regionaloffice. The experience of and lessons learnt from designing, developing and delivering this phasedtraining programme have fed into improvements in the curriculum and training methodology. Thetraining programme has also facilitated the development of business continuity plans and contingencyplans in some of the 11 Member States of the region and has increased the readiness of WHO stafffor swift deployment in recent emergencies. It is recommended that the strengthening of operationalreadiness for responding to emergencies in the region be sustained and accelerated through thedevelopment of a regional training consortium that can scale the training programme up at nationallevel, taking into account country contexts, national health systems and the needs of populations. Theresilience of the populations and health systems in the region will be increased if disaster risk reductionand emergency preparedness and response activities are supported by operational readiness.
