WHO HUB FOR EPIDEMIC & PANDEMIC INTELLIGENCE BETTER DATA - BETTER ANALYTICS - BETTER DECISIONS Summary: The WHO proposes creating a WHO Hub for Epidemic and Pandemic Intelligence that focuses on the development of a global data ecosystem to produce timely insights and tools for policymakers before, during, and after epidemic and pandemic events. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgency for countries individually and collectively to better prepare for and predict, prevent and respond to epidemics and pandemics. While much has been accomplished in the past years, there is a clear need for a stronger global early warning, alert, and emergency response system with improved public health intelligence and interdisciplinary risk analysis that supports decisionmakers. The WHO Hub will expand and augment capabilities of WHO and those of countries in preparing and responding to epidemic and pandemic risks. By leveraging advanced analytical technologies coupled with insights from timely, high-quality, and high-frequency data sources, the Hub will produce actionable information for key decision-makers. It will provide a world-class nurturing environment for innovation and development to attract the brightest minds across disciplines and countries to work on challenging problems facing epidemic and pandemic risk management. 1 THE CHALLENGE The COVID-19 pandemic has so far led to a loss of almost 2.6mn lives,1 pushed millions into extreme poverty (to 2014-15 levels),2 and is expected to cause a cumulative loss in economic output of USD 22 trillion until 2025.3 While inconceivable to many before 2020, the world continues to be at risk of a comparable crisis from other diseases with pandemic potential. The world continuously faces pandemic risks. Mutations of existing pathogens, expansions of diseases to previously unaffected populations, and disease spill over events from animals to humans create a rapidly changing risk environment to which the world is insufficiently prepared. In a highly interconnected world, these risks need to be identified as early as possible to prevent rapid global transmission of an infectious disease , as experienced with COVID-19. While communities and institutions have made progress in developing public health intelligence and risk analysis capacities, a globally concerted approach is still lacking. Just as the rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines is testimony to human ingenuity and global cooperation in science, the world urgently requires a similar level of innovation and global collaboration to establish an interconnected, distributed global eco-system for epidemic and pandemic intelligence with WHO at its centre. The world needs a significant leap forward to provide better data, analytics, and tools to inform public health decisions at local and global levels. This requires harnessing the potential of advanced technologies such WHO Hub for Epidemic and Pandemic Intelligence | Confidential| 22.03.2021 | 1 of 3 as artificial intelligence, combining diverse data sources (public health, social and behavioural interactions, social media/news, mobility/travel, and environmental data), and collaborating across multiple disciplines.

The Hub will boost the efforts of WHO towards an enhanced global early warning, alert, and emergency response system through a globally distributed network of collaborations with experts, research centres, and think tanks across the world. Concretely, the Hub will deliver on: → Building the fastest engine for detection of global risks and signals of health emergencies from diverse data using advanced analytical technologies and interdisciplinary expertise. → Leveraging these data-driven tools to rapidly produce actionable insights for policymakers at local and global levels about pre-, intra-, and post pandemic events. → Transforming innovations in public health intelligence and risk analysis into sustainable global public goods through reliable partnerships. WHO Hub for Epidemic and Pandemic Intelligence | Confidential| 22.03.2021 | 2 of 3 The Hub will work in three areas to expand and augment capabilities of countries and those of WHO in preparing and responding to epidemic and pandemic threats: First, the global availability and useability of diverse data relevant to health emergencies. Second, the development of analytical systems to identify, assess, and understand epidemic risks. Third, the real-time monitoring of disease control measures, including infodemics, for risk management of epidemic and pandemic events. The Hub will provide a world-class nurturing environment for innovation in and development of epidemic and pandemic intelligence tools and concepts. The Hub will attract the brightest minds from across disciplines and countries to address the most challenging problems facing epidemic and pandemic risk management. The WHO Hub for Epidemic and Pandemic Intelligence will function as a full, innovative, and agile entity within WHO anchored in the Health Emergencies Programme. 1 Weekly epidemiological update - 9 March 2021 (https://www.who.int/publications/m/item/weekly- epidemiological-update---10-march-2021) 2 Updated estimates of the impact of COVID-19 on global poverty: Looking back at 2020 and the outlook for 2021 (https://blogs.worldbank.org/opendata/updated-estimates-impact-covid-19-global-poverty-looking- back-2020-and-outlook-2021) 3 Transcript of the World Economic Outlook Update (https://www.imf.org/en/News/Articles/2021/01/28/tr012621-transcript-of-the-world-economic-outlook- update-press-briefing) WHO Hub for Epidemic and Pandemic Intelligence | Confidential| 22.03.2021 | 3 of 3 Saatja: MORGAN, Oliver <[email protected]> Saadetud: 22.07.2021 11:13 Adressaat: Demina_JV <[email protected]>; Skudareva Dr Olga Nikolaevna <[email protected]>; omariev_zm <[email protected]>; <[email protected]>; Salahov Eduard <[email protected]>; ihrnfp <[email protected]>; alerte <[email protected]>; ihr <[email protected]>; <[email protected]>; npc <[email protected]>; <[email protected]>; GEO_IHR_NFP <[email protected]>; anakasradze <[email protected]>; ihrnfp <[email protected]>; verica_jovanovic <[email protected]>; IHR Admin <[email protected]>; d.capmari <[email protected]>; silviabino <[email protected]>; ihrnfpalbania <[email protected]>; alertasue <[email protected]>; Fernando Simón Soria <[email protected]>; lci.respons <[email protected]>; Aura.Timen <[email protected]>; IHR-NFP.Israel <[email protected]>; roee.singer <[email protected]>; duty24h <[email protected]>; Mika Salminen <[email protected]>; EWRS Estonia <[email protected]>; Siseministeerium <[email protected]>; ihrUA <[email protected]>; i.kuzin <[email protected]>; Ms A.

The WHO Hub will be a global platform for pandemic and epidemic intelligence, creating shared and networked access to vital multi- sectoral data, driving innovations in data analytics and building the communities of practice needed to predict, prevent, detect, prepare for and respond to worldwide health threats. I am writing to invite you to a workshop on 4th August 2021 from 15h00 to 16h30 CET that we are holding as part of a global outreach process to seek feedback on the strategic objectives of the Hub. We are carrying out various workshops across the world and believe that will greatly benefit from your perspective and expertise. During the workshop, WHO will present the concept of the WHO Hub as well as strategic objectives, followed by a discussion among participants. This could include broader strategic objectives, specific activities or ideas for collaborations. A final version of the Hubs strategic plan will be published at the time of the inauguration of the WHO Hub in early September. Please find attached a 3-page concept note on the WHO Hub to take a look at ahead of the workshops. _________________________________________________________________________ _______ Microsoft Teams meeting Join on your computer or mobile app Join with a video conferencing device Video Conference ID: 126 799 526 0 | _________________________________________________________________________ _______ Best regards, Íåîôèöèàëüíûé ïåðåâîä Êîíñóëüòàòèâíîå ñîâåùàíèå ïî ãëîáàëüíîìó õàáó ÂÎÇ Óâàæàåìûå êîëëåãè!
