2023

The World Health Organization Health Emergencies Programme has been responding to scores of natural disasters, man-made disasters, armed conflicts and infectious disease outbreaks and pandemics. Experience has shown that these situations, particularly outbreaks of Ebola and Marburg disease, among other Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers, will continue. It is essential that Member States strengthen their capacity for efficient preparedness, readiness and response activities for emerging threats and outbreaks as they occur.
