This tool (draft version of February 2006) was developed by the Unit for Preparedness and Response at the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, in collaboration with the European Commission and the World Health Organisation Regional Office for Europe. The tool is used for ongoing country support visits by joint missions from ECDC, the European Commission, and WHO EURO. The tool follows the main components of the European Commission communication on pandemic influenza preparedness and response planning in the European Community, the WHO global influenza preparedness plan, the WHO checklist for influenza pandemic preparedness planning, and existing country preparedness plans. While the European Commission and WHO documents help countries to develop their plans, the tool allows evaluating the preparedness status. Therefore, the documents complement each other. |
