The toolkit contains: information about yellow fever; RCCE considerations for how to approach key issues during yellow fever outbreaks; tools for understanding the context in which yellow fever outbreaks occur; methods for collecting data to inform strategy development and bring evidence into planning and implementation of activities; guidance to support vector control and immunization campaigns; and links to existing RCCE tools and training. It is one of a suite of toolkits on RCCE readiness and response to a range of disease and response areas.
WHO benchmarks for strengthening health emergency capacities
The WHO Benchmarks for International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) Capacities was first published in 2019 and serves as a capacity-building tool and reference document to guide development/updating of country health security plans, including the national action plan for health security (NAPHS). It is now updated to a second edition which incorporates lessons learned from recent health emergencies, as well as alignment with updated IHRMEF tools, the HEPR framework, the WHO Director-General’s ten proposals to build a safer world together, and to build back better through multi-hazard and whole-of-society approaches to support better preparedness for future emergencies. Over 250 relevant te...
Framework and toolkit for infection prevention and control outbreak preparedness, readiness and response at the national level
This document provides a practical framework of actions and toolkit for strengthening infection prevention and control (IPC) outbreak preparedness, readiness and response at the national and subnational level.

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Covid-19 and the Caribbean, Volume 1

Surveillance of health care-associated infections at national and facility levels
In the context of strengthening national and facility-level Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) surveillance as a core component of infection prevention and control (IPC) programmes, WHO is publishing this practical handbook, including new simplified and validated case definitions. The main purpose of this handbook is to provide comprehensive guidance on the objectives, key concepts, principles, methods, and best practices of HAI surveillance, in order to help policymakers and IPC and surveillance professionals to design and implement effective surveillance systems to measure the burden of HAI and take action for its prevention. The handbook also includes new definitions that were developed and validated by WHO with consensus by international experts, with the intent that they could be more suitable for use in low-resource settings. These efforts are aimed at enabling more countries to design and implement HAIs surveillance systems programmes, fostering more consistent data collection across diverse healthcare settings, and streamlining the identification of HAIs for global, regional, and national benchmarking.
