Positioning Africa for effective preparedness & response to emerging viral diseases Dr Ibrahima Soce Fall, WHO-Regional Office for Africa-AFRO Brazzaville-Congo

Outline The emerging viral diseases challenge in Africa Regional strategy for preparedness & response to emerging public health emergencies The role of WHO Conclusion

About 100 acute public health events annually 82 (78%): Infectious diseases 18 (17%): Disaster 4 (4%): Chemical

Importance of IDSR & IHR implementation Outbreak and epidemic events by disease in the countries of the WHO African region All the 47 Member States at risk Importance of IDSR & IHR implementation

Marburg and Ebola risk mapping

Lassa and Crimean Congo risk mapping

Yellow fever and Zika risk mapping

Ebola Crisis!! Unprecedented & underscored need for action Reminded us that we need to urgently support building core IHR capacities- preparedness, alert, early detection, and response

Quick and robust response YF-Differential Response Capacity in MS Yellow COUNTRY Total confirmed, probable, and suspected cases of yellow fever Total confirmed cases of yellow fever Comment Angola 3818 879 Delayed response DRC 2051 76 Good response China (Imported) 11 Kenya (Imported) 2 1 Uganda 68 3 Quick and robust response

Need regional strategy to guide member states & partners Vision: A safer African region where outbreaks and disasters are no longer major causes of morbidity and mortality and socio-economic disruption Mission: Support MS to ensure health security through prevention, prediction, early warning, early detection, and, rapid and effective response to emergencies and disasters including disease outbreaks, using an all-hazard approach linked to primary health care systems. Goal: To minimize the public health and socio-economic impact of outbreaks, emergencies and disasters, in the African Region

Objectives To strengthen and sustain the capacity of all the Member States health systems to prevent outbreaks and other health emergencies. To strengthen and sustain the capacity of all the Member States health systems to promptly detect and confirm outbreaks. To strengthen and sustain the capacity of all the Member States health systems to promptly respond to and recover from the negative effects of outbreaks and health emergencies.

Targets -1 At least 80%, of Member States have organized a joint external evaluation (JEE) of IHR core capacities by 2018. At least 80%, of Member States have all hazards preparedness plans that are reviewed and tested, by 2018. At least, 80% of the Member States will have the minimum IHR core capacities, by 2020. Over 90%, of Member States are implementing IDSR including event-based surveillance systems with at least 90% country coverage, by 2020.

Targets-2 At least 80% of Member States have a functional national laboratory system and network by 2020 Over 90% of Member States have a multi-level and multi-faced risk communication strategy for real time exchange of information, by 2020. Over 80% of Member States will have an adequate health work force to respond to outbreaks and health emergencies as stipulated in the JEE tool by 2020

Strategic Approaches All-hazard approach – one operational platform , One Health in line with the TA and the new WHE The RAPID concept: Rapid response for rapid impact Actions and results oriented Proactive Preparedness and Prevention Intelligence and real-time information, risk mapping and communication for rapid decision making Dedicated staff and team including across clusters

Dedicated team

A common framework for action in all MS! Critical Functions All Hazard Risk Assessment and Evidence led National Policies and Plans Public Health Surveillance (Indicator and event based) Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response operations Strategic, Risk and Other Public Health Communication Enablers Leadership, Governance, Ownership & Coordination Financing Skilled People Infrastructure & Logistics Information Systems Capacity Stakeholders, Partnerships and Networking Research Capacity

Regional and Country level Risk mapping and risk assessments Support MS to conduct assessments (risk and IHR core capacities) using the joint external evaluation (JEE) tool A comprehensive Risk Management Cycle Assessments and a proactive management of priority risk rather than reactive approach All Hazards, Multi-sectoral: One health approach Human health Animal health Environmental health Wild life Based on assessments support MS to develop evidence-led national strategic plans

Develop and implement all hazards plans of action JEEs/PARs/Annual Monitoring POAs M&E FEEDBACK

Priority Strategic actions-1 Regional Risk-mapping for PHEs to build early warning and response systems – 5 year regional HSE strategy and plan Regional capacity for strategic information management for decision making and operations coordination using one common platform AMR surveillance and mitigation High level advocacy meetings for IHR including other sectors in collaboration with RECs Revitalizing the the African Public Health Fund Building countries capacities for IHR in a coordinate manners in the context of GHSA: partners 'coordination

Priority Strategic actions-2 Establish a regional partnership forum for “One health” to serve as a platform for coordinated action, mobilizing resources and forging consensus among partners and Member States. Facilitate partnerships to improve preparedness, alert and response and strengthen cross-country and cross-institutional collaboration. Strengthen national and regional networks of Research Institutes to support Member States to conduct research. Establish a regional health workforce to promptly respond to outbreaks and health emergencies. Collaboration with Africa CDC and coordination of new initiatives

Better partnerships and collaboration Advocacy for Coordination of health security initiatives and building AFRO capacity in the context of WHO emergency reform and GHSA – Joint External Evaluation Implementation of the “one health approach” and AMR; advocacy for more vaccines for YF, meningitis etc Strengthening IHR core capacities in low and middle income countries linked to district health system strengthening Early warning system, district and community surveillance using eSurveillance and real-time information Building laboratory capacities, biosafety and strengthening of Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) - Experts deployment during emergencies

A financially empowered and sustainable Health Emergencies Programme Adequate financing is a prerequisite for success of all aspects of the new Programme and its work in supporting of Member State preparedness strengthening The financial viability and sustainability of the new programme requires a combination of core financing for WHO’s standing emergency risk management capacity and normative work Also required is a contingency fund (CFE) for rapidly initiating and enabling new emergency response operations

What does the world expect of WHO in emergencies? 1 Single approach for all emergencies (outbreaks, disasters, etc) 2 Standardized across all 3 levels & all 7 major offices 3 Leverage & facilitate UN, partners & disaster mgmt systems 4 Optimize WHO political access & technical expertise 5 Operate across the emergency management cycle

risk of, or affected by, emergencies' New WHE programme 'A quicker, predictable, dependable, & capable WHO in support of people at risk of, or affected by, emergencies' One emergency programme One workforce One budget One line of accountability One set of processes/systems One set of benchmarks

Infectious Hazard Managment All hazards approach Hazard Event Chemical Spill Radiation Leak Event Grading & Response Infectious Hazards (e.g H5N1, H7N9, coronaviruses, filoviruses) Infectious risk grading & mgmt Infectious RESPONSE Outbreak Natural disaster Event Conflict War Emergency operations Infectious Hazard Managment

WHO's Roles in Health Emergency Risk Management Infectious Hazard Management IHR & Member State Preparedness Risk Assessment & Health Emergency Info/Data Emergency Operations Incident management Protracted crises planning Operational Partners & Readiness Operations Support & Logistics

Conclusion We need to collectively act now to stop the loss of African lives We need robust surveillance to detect & nip epidemics & health emergencies in the bud We need to build world class infrastructure to prevent, detect, and respond to outbreaks and other health emergencies New WHE programme offers us an opportunity
