WHO Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) Framework

[Commonground]

The PIP Framework brings together Member States, industry, other stakeholders and WHO to implement a global approach to pandemic influenza preparedness and response. Its key goals include: to improve and strengthen the sharing of influenza viruses with human pandemic potential; and to increase the access of developing countries to vaccines and other pandemic related supplies. The Framework was developed by Member States. It came into effect on 24 May 2011 when it was unanimously adopted by the Sixty-fourth World Health Assembly (2011).​

SEVENTEENTH BIREGIONAL MEETING OF NATIONAL INFLUENZA CENTRES AND INFLUENZA SURVEILLANCE IN WHO’S SOUTH-EAST ASIA AND WESTERN PACIFIC REGIONS
​
Convened by:
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION REGIONAL OFFICE FOR THE WESTERN PACIFIC
​
Overview
To ensure better and holistic preparedness for the next pandemic, the 17th biregional meeting of NICs and influenza surveillance brought together key stakeholders from the two regions to discuss implementation of the expanded GISRS and revised NIC TORs. In addition, separate parallel sessions for Member States of the two different regions were held to discuss implementation of the Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) framework and the Global Influenza Strategy.

Excerpt:


Pandemic preparedness

There was consensus on the need to enhance surveillance capacity for seasonal and zoonotic influenza,

as well as preparedness for potential future pandemics, targeting influenza pandemics, through robust

planning, adequate resource allocation, clarification of data and biological materials sharing benefits

and rights, continued technical development, peer support and collaboration.

Enhanced collaboration

The meeting emphasized the importance of continued collaboration among institutions and stakeholders

working on influenza and other respiratory viruses − including NICs, WHO CCs for influenza, H5

reference laboratories, partners and other key stakeholders − to strengthen influenza surveillance and

response systems.

CONCLUSIONS

Influenza virus circulation in the Asia Pacific region remains complex and requires continued robust

and efficient surveillance systems, including the timely sharing of data and viruses, for prompt detection

and timely response. Furthermore, implementation of the eGISRS provides an opportunity for regular

surveillance of influenza and other respiratory viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and RSV, which would

greatly contribute to preparedness for future respiratory virus-associated pandemics. To ensure

continued and quality-assured surveillance and preparedness for the next pandemic, robust planning,

adequate resource allocation, clarification of data and biological materials sharing benefits and rights,

and continued technical support and collaboration across and beyond the GISRS network are critical.
