Although preventable and treatable, cholera disproportionately affects vulnerable populations in fragile and humanitarian settings, with risks compounded by conflict, rapid urbanisation, climate change and recurrent natural disasters. This World Health Organization Health Emergencies EPI-WIN webinar will highlight the latest guidance on designing and operating cholera treatment facilities, with a focus on water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) and infection prevention and control (IPC). By strengthening how facilities are planned and managed, these measures can improve patient care, protect health workers and help reduce the spread of cholera during outbreaks. 📌Title: 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗪𝗔𝗦𝗛 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗣𝗖 📅 Date and Time: 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟭 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, 𝟭𝟰.𝟬𝟬 - 𝟭𝟱.𝟬𝟬 𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗧 (Geneva time) 🌐 Webpage: bit.ly/4jo3bAV 🔗 Registration link: bit.ly/4ikKiON @WHO @Chikwe_I @mvankerkhove @ChungongStella @SecGTFCC @Pezzapezzi @WHOEMRO @WHOAFRO @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO

Understanding these risks—and connecting evidence across human, animal and environmental health—is essential for pandemic preparedness. This webinar provides a One Health update; supports awareness on avian influenza A(H9N2); and provides an opportunity for engagement around the emerging Strategic Framework to accelerate Quadripartite action on avian influenza. This is an opportunity to understand the latest evidence, engage with experts and explore its implications for public health action. @Chikwe_I @mvankerkhove @aspensive @ChungongStella @WHO @FAO @E_A_Karlsson @madhursd @BonnConvention @PasteurCambodia @StJudeResearch @CDCgov @PasteurDakar @FAO #OneHealth @AvianInfluenza #Influenza

Investment in pandemic preparedness matters — it can mean the difference between preventing or containing a health threat early and facing a full-scale emergency. But how preparedness investment ensure that the capacities it builds—from a trained emergency workforce and stronger cross-border coordination to better information sharing and effective surge capacity—remain effective and sustainable beyond the life of a project?
