The Role Canada is Playing How the World Keeps Diseases from Spreading Pt.2

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) PHAC was created in 2004 in response to growing concerns about the capacity of Canada's public health system to anticipate and respond effectively to public health threats. Why 2004? What happened around this time that scared Canadians?

After SARS.... The Canadian Government acknowledged that Canada lacked a coordinated system to notify hospitals of global health alerts, with accompanying recommendations for surveillance and control. And so... The Public Health Agency of Canada was born!

What does PHAC do? 1. Prevent and control infectious diseases 2. Prepare for and respond to public health emergencies 3. Prevent and control chronic diseases and injuries How does PHAC do this? 1. Surveillance 2. Emergency Preparedness and Response Plans

Surveillance Information on causation, risk patterns, and trends in the occurrence of infectious diseases are monitored to assist in the development of intervention strategies and control programs.

FluWatch is Canada's national surveillance system that monitors the spread of the flu and flu-like illnesses on an ongoing basis. FluWatch distinguishes between seasonal Influenza A and Pandemic Influenza A (Swine Flu). What is a pandemic? And How is it different from an epidemic?

FluWatch Cont... PHAC produces weekly FluWatch reports during the influenza season (October - May) and biweekly reports during the off season (June - September).

Influenza Activity Levels Level 1 = No activity: no laboratory-confirmed influenza detections during the past four weeks Level 2 = Sporadic: sporadically occurring lab confirmed influenza Level 3 = Localized: sporadically occurring lab confirmed influenza together with outbreaks in schools, worksites and/or residential institutions Level 4 = Widespread: lab confirmed influenza occurring in greater than or equal to 50% of the surveillance region

Summary of FluWatch Findings for the Week ending March 8, 2013 In week 08, specific indicators of influenza activity continued to decrease, while indicators of the circulation of respiratory viruses such as the ILI consultation rate were similar to recent weeks. The percentage of laboratory detections positive for influenza continues to decrease, while the proportion of positive tests for influenza B has increased in recent weeks. The percentage of laboratory detections positive for RSV and rhinovirus were similar to recent weeks. The number of regions reporting widespread or localized activity was similar in weeks 07 and 08; however, there is an overall decline in influenza/ILI activity from the peak in early January.

Canada’s Flu Pandemic Preparedness Plan The plan is based on six key strategies: 1. Early detection 2. Ongoing updates to keep Canadians well-informed about what is happening and what to do as a result. 3. Emergency health services to care for those who are sick. 4. Antiviral medications 5. Pandemic flu vaccine 6. Public health measures to prevent the spread of infection — recommendations about travel, airports, public gatherings, and advice to schools, businesses, and communities.
