Holistic response strategies for COVID-19

World Health Organization WHO (2020) C_WHO

This document outlines minimum requirements of laboratory testing for COVID-19 and link laboratory testing with surveillance and contact tracing to guide the outbreak response by national health authorities using a reduced number of tests performed. The strategies are organized according to stages of transmission: (‎1)‎ No cases reported or observed (‎Stage 0)‎; (‎2)‎ Imported cases (‎Stage 1)‎; (‎3)‎ Localized community transmission (‎Stage 2)‎; (‎4)‎ Large-scale community transmission (‎Stage 3)‎. For each stage, the recommended approaches indicate which testing strategy to prioritize when there are severe limitations on laboratory testing. The document is based on the current epidemiology of COVID-19 and available molecular testing methods

WHO toolkit for the care and support of people affected by complications associated with Zika virus

World Health Organization WHO (2017) C_WHO

The WHO Toolkit for the care and support of people affected by complications associated with Zika virus has been developed to serve as a model guide, with the goal of enhancing country preparedness for Zika virus outbreaks. The toolkit is intended to provide a systems approach involving public health planners and managers so that the necessary infrastructure and resources can be identified and incorporated as needed, as well as technical and practical guidance for health care professionals and community workers. The toolkit includes three manuals to provide countries with tools to effectively recognize people affected by Zika virus and deliver comprehensive care and support: Manual for public health planners and managers Manual for health care professionals Manual for community workers

Framework for a national plan for monitoring and management of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors

World Health Organization (WHO) (2017) C_WHO

Effective malaria prevention is threatened by widespread and increasing vector insecticide resistance. Failure to mitigate this threat will likely result in an increased burden of disease, with significant cost implications. This new framework provides support for the development of a national insecticide resistance monitoring and management plan as part of a national malaria strategic plan

Cadre conceptuel d’un plan national de suivi et de gestion de la résistance aux insecticides chez les vecteurs du paludisme

Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS) (2017) C_WHO

L’ampleur de la résistance aux insecticides chez les vecteurs du paludisme met en péril l’efficacité des programmes de lutte anti-vectorielle. Si cette résistance n’est pas atténuée, le taux de morbidité palustre va s’accroître, entraînant une hausse significative des coûts liés à la prévention de la maladie. Ce nouveau cadre est un guide pour l’élaboration d’un plan national de suivi et de gestion de la résistance aux insecticides chez les vecteurs du paludisme, lequel doit considéré comme partie intégrante du plan stratégique national de lutte contre le paludisme
