Description: The Strategic framework rests on the guiding principles of support for community leadership, respect for equity and human rights, context- specific collaboration and integration, and commitment to continuous learning. Engaging affected communities is central to efforts to support health emergency prevention, preparedness, response and resilience. It also remains essential to strengthen health systems at all levels for collaborative surveillance, community awareness and protection, clinical care of patients, access to diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics, targeted research efforts, and ongoing coordination to sustain longer term efforts.
