Abstract:
The Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) Framework Partnership Contribution Scheme has enabled countries to further strengthen their preparedness capacities in the areas of laboratory and surveillance, burden of disease estimation, regulatory capacity building, risk communication, and deployment of pandemic products. In the Western Pacific Region, Cambodia, Fiji, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Mongolia, and Viet Nam were identified as priority countries for capacity building initiatives. This article reviews the progress made from 2014-2017 in the five PIP priority countries in pandemic preparedness capacity building.
