The Ministry of Health has provided a rationale for the engagement of a Consultant in relation to COVID-19.
It says the main objective of the consultancy is to review and assess the country’s public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to the health system pillars set out by the World Health Organisation’s International Health Regulations.
In accordance with these pillars, the country’s public health response will be assessed utilising four core areas which outlines key technical areas.
They are prevention, detection, response and international health regulations.
In a media release on Tuesday, the Ministry said the result of this assessment will assist in developing the health sector’s resilience, inform responses to future pandemics and contribute to operational readiness as it relates to future disasters and emergencies.
