⚫ Classic flu symptoms in most ⚫ Pneumonia in 10-20% of cases ⚫ Case fatality proportion >2.5% ⚫ ‘Purple Death’ often in 24 hrs

– “They very rapidly develop the most vicious type of pneumonia that has ever been seen.” – “Cyanosis extending from their ears and spreading all

men from the white.” – “It takes special trains to carry away the dead. For several days there were no coffins and the bodies piled up something fierce.” – “Bodies stacked in the morgue from floor to ceiling like cord wood.”

Current Pandemic Vulnerability & Readiness?

⚫ World more crowded, more connected, and the worlds of humans and animals converging ⚫ If 1918 pandemic were to occur today, estimated 105- 110 million deaths

– Infection in 20-30% of global population

⚫ Disruption of transportation and supply chains

– Food, Energy, Medical Supplies

⚫ Disruption of healthcare services ⚫ Potential high economic costs

– $181B estimated for pan flu pandemic – SARS cost $30 billion in only 4 months

Economic impact can be considerable

IHR as a Public Health Good

⚫ If all countries, without exception

– Are well prepared, and have good capacity for detection and response to all acute public health events, and… – Report serious events quickly, and provide other countries with information that help them to prepare

⚫ Then all countries will be more safe from unpredictable events, whenever they occur ⚫ The world would be a safer place…. ⚫ However…

– One weak link in the chain…

Advancing Country Core Capacities

The Asia Pacific Strategy for Emerging Diseases and Public Health Emergencies (APSED III)

  • A bi-regional framework for action for two

WHO Regions (SEAR and WPR) to advance IHR core capacities for health security

  • A common framework to prepare for and

respond to all emerging diseases and public health emergencies

  • Developed in 2005, updated in 2010 and 2016

(APSED III)

Gaps and opportunities..?

⚫ ‘Overall’ lack of investment – still need to make a better case for investment... ⚫ ‘Orphan’ technical areas of work (mismatch between ‘need’ and support provided) ⚫ Preparing for an outbreak of Disease ‘X’ ⚫ Strengthening ‘all of society’ pandemic preparedness... ⚫ Working with the Private Sector (business continuity is everyone's concern) ⚫ Leveraging public private partnerships (e.g. Arup is supporting work on natural ventilation for IPC through their portfolio for CSR)

If we’re prepared for a pandemic, (the “big event”), we can handle almost anything...

Thank you….
