Mashup Score: 72Turning crisis into opportunity: sustaining COVID-19 gains in resource-constrained and fragile settings - 29 day(s) ago
### Summary box In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, discussions on strengthening global and national pandemic preparedness have reopened. In September 2023, the United Nations (UN) General Assembly hosted a meeting on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response, at which heads of government issued a political declaration for safeguarding against future pandemic risks. The prevailing sentiment on preparedness was gloomy. Indeed, a recent report highlights ‘significant weaknesses or declining capacities in several critical areas of preparedness’.1 At the heart of these deliberations lies a global consensus that forthcoming preparedness plans must prioritise equity and inclusivity: global health security will only be achieved when our most vulnerable nations are also adequately prepared.

Mashup Score: 1553CERN working with WHO to improve understanding of COVID-19 airborne transmission risk in indoor spaces - 29 day(s) ago
As the response to the pandemic evolves and people step back into the office, it is necessary to monitor continuously the risk of disease transmission and be prepared to make quick, evidence-based decisions to ensure that everyone can work safely. CERN has developed the COVID Airborne Risk Assessment tool (CARA) to help personnel return to work safely by assessing the risk of COVID-19 infection in enclosed spaces like offices or meeting rooms. In accordance with CERN’s knowledge-transfer strategy, CERN has made the CARA software open-source, and the tool is freely available to all on GitLab. The tool has attracted the attention of many international organisations, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG). In June 2021, CERN shared its approach to risk assessment of occupational hazards, presenting CARA to WHO’s COVID Expert Panel. As a result, WHO has now invited CERN to become a member of a multidisciplinary working group of interna
