21 p. This report is the outcome of the 8th Regional Workshop of the South-eastern EuropeHealth Network (SEEHN) and pandemic preparedness assessment visits to all nine SEEcountries, all carried out under the framework of the SEEHN, formerly part of theSocial Cohesion Initiative of the SEE Stability Pact. Pandemic preparedness planningwas incorporated as an addendum to the original description of the project“Strengthening Communicable Diseases Surveillance and Response in the South-easternEurope” in 2007, as the start of a focused effort to strengthen pandemic and avianinfluenza preparedness.Well-developed and implemented pandemic preparedness is considered the mostefficient means of reducing morbidity and mortality due to a pandemic influenza virus.It can also limit negative consequences on society, including national and globaleconomies. Substantial efforts and resources are currently being devoted to national andinternational pandemic preparedness all over the world. Even though pandemicpreparedness had previously been addressed at meetings organized under the StabilityPact, the project addendum increased efforts and activities in the field. Since the topicwas first addressed at the 6th Regional Workshop of the SEE Project in Belgrade inNovember 2006, countries have dedicated many resources to improving pandemicpreparedness. Because of this, the WHO Regional Office for Europe (the RegionalOffice) organized assessment visits to all SEE countries to assist them in assessing theirpreparedness and identifying means of strengthening it. Following the assessment visits,the Regional Office together with the European Centre for Disease Prevention andControl (ECDC) organized the 8th Regional Workshop of the SEE Health Network toaddress common issues related to pandemic preparedness in the region and to enhancefurther collaboration between countries on this topic.
