Abstract:
In collaboration with its many partners, WHO has developed a new Global Agenda on Influenza Surveillance and Control. The Global Agenda defines 17 priority activities that are critical to reducing the morbidity and mortality from annual influenza epidemics and preparing for the next pandemic. The Global Agenda will provide the foundation for global and national intervention plans, facilitate international coordination of prevention and control activities and contribute to renewed interest in epidemic influenza prevention and pandemic preparedness.
