1.Responding to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines
Michelle McPherson ; Megan Counahan ; Julie Lyn Hall
Western Pacific Surveillance and Response 2015;6(Suppl 1):1-4
During the overlap period between response and recovery activities, the authors were all working in the health sector at the national level supporting coordination and strategic planning with government and partners and at the field level implementing response activities and revisiting the medium- and long-term programming approach to recovery. It is from this perspective, combined with data from existing documents such as plans, reports and policies, that we highlight the need to define a period of transition from response to recovery of the health sector as it may have important implications on the health system functioning as a whole.
