Health emergencies in Europe: Making sure every country is ready (2019)

This is not just another brochure. This brochure contains information, evidence; it tells stories. But more than anything, it is a call to action; a call to invest politically and financially in preparedness to contribute to protecting 1 billion more people from health emergencies.

This brochure is part of a toolbox for WHO Country Offices to encourage ministers of health to act; for ministers of health to engage their governments to act; and for governments to persuade donors and the international community to act.

As such, this brochure is accompanied by an advocacy strategy including a matrix of actors and interventions; and by a map of messages addressing the audiences mentioned.

The advocacy package is completed by tools for each of the WHO Health Emergencies (WHE) Programme priority countries to make the investment case at national level, based on specific contexts and needs.
