  • WHO released a Global Influenza Strategy for 2019-2030, which aimed at protecting people in all countries.
  • The goal of the strategy is to prevent seasonal influenza, control the spread of influenza from animals to humans, and prepare for the next influenza pandemic.
  • The new strategy is the most comprehensive and far-reaching that WHO has ever developed for influenza.

Its two overarching goals

  • Build stronger country capacities for disease surveillance and response, prevention and control, and preparedness.
    • To achieve this, it calls for every country to have a tailored influenza programme that contributes to national and global preparedness and health security.
  • Develop better tools to prevent, detect, control and treat influenza, such as more effective vaccines, antivirals and treatments, with the goal of making these accessible for all countries.
