Abstract

[Extract] The UN High-Level Meeting in September, 2023, concluded with the approval of a Declaration on pandemic prevention that received mixed reaction from the stakeholders.1, 2 The Declaration calls for an encompassing approach to emergency preparedness and response (EPR) and for empowering national systems and strengthening coordination and leadership.3 In complex settings such as several countries in WHO's Eastern Mediterranean region, conflict, social and political instability, multiple disease outbreaks, insufficiently resourced health systems, and large-scale health and social inequities4 further confirm the need to adopt holistic approaches towards health emergencies management.
