- The International Health Regulations (IHR) provides the world with THE unique legal framework to ensure global health security. There is no other platform with its scope, reach, and relevance. We therefore have to strengthen its application and implementation by Member States. This needs political commitment and multisectoral engagement.
- This is a decisive moment. The lessons learned from the ebola provide us with a unique opportunity to strengthen health security and reform our work on emergencies! We, WHO top leaders, are fully committed to this as we said in our statement at the end of the EB. Since then considerable progress has been made towards a transformative agenda which was reconfirmed at the recent GPG retreat in Venice, finished 2 days ago.
- The key aim of this reform is to ensure standardization, predictability and interoperability across the three levels of WHO and with the global emergency management mechanism. And rapidly strengthen the capacity to enable and immediate and effective response to the next major health crisis. The new health emergencies program will enable WHO to be an operational agency in crisis, it will take an all hazards approach and will optimize the impact of its political assets and access and effectively draw on its technical expertize and infrastructure at all levels and rapidly strengthen the capacity to enable immediate and effective response to the next major health crisis. The new program is built on the principles of One program with one line of authority, 1 set of processes and performance metrics, 1 workforce, 1 budget and 1 set of emergency business rules and processes. It will address the full cycle of health emergency preparedness, response, and recovery. The IHR are therefore an integral part of the new program in maintaining and establishing country preparedness. The new program will have linkages and formal mechanisms of collaboration with other technical departments, like R&D, HSS etc
- Emergency response is very important but preparedness is equally important as it can prevent many emergencies across the globe. Therefore preparedness in Member States is an essential element of this new program. The IHR provides the ideal tool for that. WHO is committed to support Member States in the process of strengthening emergency preparedness of countries. As requested by the Regional Committee for Europe in 2015, the Regional Office for Europe is ready to spearhead the development and the testing of new approaches to evaluate the use of the IHR, which are complementary to the external evaluations, such as exercises and post-action reviews. With the full monitoring package with its 4 components ( as you can see on the slide ) we will be able to accelerate the use of the IHR, gradually turning this into a routine practice for all countries at regular intervals - as one of the most effective means to prepare for emergencies. Europe already conducted 3 country assessments and we have now countries who volunteered to test the new tool. Providing technical assistance and follow-up after the JEE assessments will be very important to support the preparedness cycle. ROs will incorporate these externally validated results into future country work for tracking and improving their IHR implementation. Country preparedness should also be backed by stronger guidelines and additional training for IHR implementers, especially national Focal Points (NFPs). The WHO Office in Lyon plays a key role in this aspect and could further assist the WHO global network in improving country preparedness particularly for surveillance and laboratories.
- IHR implementation and preparedness requires multi sectoral action. WHO and their partners support countries in their IHR implementation and Preparedness. We must accept the challenge to find innovative solutions to align ourselves and bridge sectoral gaps, so that ultimately, epidemiological information can be timely and transparently shared – the essence of the IHR. All sectors and stakeholders must be engaged for the IHR to succeed. WHO promotes partnerships across global, regional and national institutions, organizations, and technical networks to collaborate on activities and country programming to accelerate the use of the IHR. These partnerships strengthen WHO’s work and are in alignment with the IHR’s provision of mutual support (Article 44).
- The Regional Offices are uniquely positioned to works across multi-sectoral capacities and together with partners and networks to accelerate the use of the IHR. The Regional Offices are uniquely positioned to support countries due to their technical expertise, cultural understanding, and established platforms. Therefore, ROs are best equipped to evaluate countries’ preparedness and their overall IHR implementation. The Regional Offices have strong collaborations with national institutions and other UN agencies while working in-country, as well as across the region. Multi-sectoral technical partners participate during specialized activities, exercises, and workshops aimed at improving IHR / Preparedness. Regional Offices generate best practice and technical knowledge by coordinating with these partners. WHO ROs are part of a larger global network of IHR implementers. I would like to convey that the WHO Regional Office for Europe is fully committed to a strong and operational IHR, and seeks to work with international partners to renew our commitments to our collective health security, to our global preparedness.
