Learning from Ebola: readiness for outbreaks and emergencies
For almost 70 years, the World Health Organization (WHO) has coordinated the norms and technical standards required to improve global health. This is the role people most often associate with WHO. However, the organization's constitution also calls on it to "furnish technical assistance and, in emergencies, necessary aid" to governments, a role WHO has played on countless occasions. Examples include eradicating smallpox, bringing polio and guinea-worm disease to the brink of eradication and responding to health threats posed by humanitarian crises worldwide. Despite initial delays in the western Africa Ebola outbreak response, the tide of this unprecedented health crisis has now been turned. The Ebola outbreak has taught you many lessons, among them that the response to outbreaks and emergencies must start and end at ground level -- which means that certain key capacities have to be in place before launching a response, including leadership and coordination, technical support, logistics, management of human resources and communications..
