The Conference was attended by Representatives from 111 countries. Representatives from 29 International Organizations also participated which included Director Generals of International Organisations like WHO, FAO, World Bank, OIE, etc. The Prime Minister of India, Dr. Manmohan Singh addressed the delegates on the second day of the Conference i.e. 5<sup>th</sup> December, 2007. Minister for Agriculture, Government of India, Shri Sharad Pawar and Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss were among those who addressed the Conference.

?The Vision of New Delhi<o></o><o

></o

>
The vision emerging from the New Delhi Conference is both broad and ambitious: to take forward the concept of ?One World and One Health? as a contribution to pandemic preparedness and human security. Rising demands for animal products (associated with poverty reduction) and changes in ecosystems (due to population growth and climate change) are increasing human susceptibility to infection with animal diseases. Each Government should, therefore, encourage functional links between human and animal health systems, while investing in sustainable capacity for preventing and controlling high risk infectious diseases in animals (and thus contributing to better animal health), both within country and in conjunction with neighbouring nations (through cross-border cooperation). Governments should also invest in public health security, implementing the capacities necessary for the full implementation of the international health regulations and extending their influence across national boundaries. When making these investments Governments would draw on the standard guidelines of international organisations. To aid Governments and other stakeholders move more rapidly towards the ?One World - One Health? vision, the Conference Hosts have developed a Road Map.<o

The Proposed National Road Map for 2008<o></o><o></o>
A Road Map that sets out the actions that a nation intends to implement could help with the establishment of achievable benchmarks to be pursued by all concerned government entities, and other stakeholders. It would encourage focused action and counter uncertainty, fatigue and confusion. The New Delhi Road Map for 2008 is designed as a template to be adapted by National Authorities and used to enable the nation to be as ready as possible (by the end of 2008) both to control HPAI and to contain and mitigate an influenza pandemic. It identifies simple milestones on the road to the vision ? milestones that each country should seek to reach during 2008. The Road Map is as follows:<o

></o

By the end of 2008, the nation<o

></o

Building commitments

<o></o><o></o>

1.will have earned the highest-level political commitment and leadership by establishing an inter-ministerial oversight and coordination mechanism to which will ensure collective efforts of stakeholders from different sectors: it should have a clear mission (to guide and shape the national response), a central command system (for defining, implementing and monitoring strategies), and the capacity to mobilize and track resources (to ensure adequate funding);
<o

></o

><o

></o

Assessments: knowing where we stand<o></o><o

></o

>

2.will have worked with international organizations to assess short, medium and long-term needs in their animal and human health sectors, indicate priority areas for attention (including leadership development, training, communications, applied research and management), and identify financial and other resource gaps that need to be filled ? using OIE?s standards for veterinary services and WHO?s assessments of capacity to implement IHR (2005), with information obtained through the assessments being shared in an open manner;
<o

></o

><o

></o

>

Surveillance and response: watching, detecting, confirming <o></o> and responding
<o></o><o

></o

Plans should be adapted to the realities and context at the local level, detail all necessary arrangements for implementation and clearly delineate roles and responsibilities;
<o

></o

><o

></o

>
9.will have broadened the scope of pandemic preparedness to include continuity of essential services (water, power, food, transport, finance, public order, tourism and health care) involving community-level groups, private entities, civil society and humanitarian organizations and factoring in the impact sickness and absenteeism and the needs of diverse groups (including migrants, refugees and other vulnerable groups);
<o

></o

><o

></o

13.will have identified hospitals for the management of human cases of HPAI, ensuring they have isolation facilities and critical care units and planned for the delivery of care in these hospitals, including implementation of strict infection control practice, the management of surges of patients with influenza and absenteeism due to staff illness. [If these hospitals are distantly placed then hospital nearest to the event could be strengthened by mobilizing resources for critical care];
<o

></o

><o

></o

Influenza<o></o><o

></o

>

20.will have reviewed their communication programmes, with the active engagement of families and communities, and assessed their efficacy at disseminating meaningful, accurate and precise messages that are adapted to the populations for whom they are designed and the impact of these messages among different groups.

The communication strategy covers programmes (to increase awareness about dangers of livestock diseases how risk can be minimized through behaviourial changes and simple hygienic practices; to inform on actions to be taken at the time when there is an outbreak in poultry; and to guide both public and professional groups when there is infection of humans];
<o

></o

><o

></o

>

Next steps
<o></o><o

</td></tr></tbody></table>Preparing for a pandemic influenza outbreak involves everybody. The threat of pandemic influenza is real, and America needs leadership from respected community members to prepare our towns and cities, reduce the impact of pandemic flu on individuals and families, and reduce or even prevent serious damage to the economy.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other public health experts agree that it is not a question of IF a pandemic will occur, but WHEN it will occur. If America is not adequately prepared, pandemic flu could seriously affect everyone economically.
Government alone can?t prepare the nation for pandemic flu; this challenge requires your help. As a leader in your community, you can play a powerful role in encouraging your employees, patients, and members and others whom you represent to prepare by providing information and guidance and by preparing yourself.
This kit was developed by HHS and CDC along with input from community leaders. It is designed to provide you with key information and tools to help your organization or practice understand the threat of a pandemic and prepare for it now.
This toolkit provides the following:

Information for you about pandemic flu
Ready-to-use and ready-to-tailor resources prepared by HHS and CDC
Ideas and materials to encourage your organization to prepare and to encourage other leaders to get involved

Pandemic preparedness efforts are an important part of community leadership. We thank you for joining community leaders across the Nation in taking steps to ensure America?s health and prosperity in the 21st century.
