Thông tin chi tiết
Tóm tắt : | 63 p. Every continent is vulnerable to emergencies. Europe is no exception. In a typical year, Europe suffers economic losses of €10 billion from disasters and emergencies, which result in hundreds of people dying or becoming severely ill. Every year, the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe receives more than 20 000 warnings of potential health threats; 2000 of these require the Organization to conduct formal assessments and about 50 of these threats, or one every week, need a response. This publication contains information and evidence, and it tells stories. It is a call to invest politically and financially in preparedness to contribute to protecting 1 billion more people from health emergencies. It is part of a toolbox for WHO Country Offices to encourage ministers of health to act and engage their governments to act, and for governments to persuade donors and the international community to act. It is accompanied by an advocacy strategy including a matrix of actors and interventions, and by a map of messages addressing the audiences mentioned. The advocacy package is completed by tools for each of the WHO Health Emergencies Programme priority countries to make the investment case at national level, based on specific contexts and needs. |
