Highlights

This document serves as a tool to guide frontline healthcare workers on what they need to know and do in case of an emergency. It is divided into two segments, 1. Emergency Preparedness, 2. Emergency Response, and can be easily referred to for direction. It does not in any way replace the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Policies or any other standing legal document that exist at the level of the health facility as far as Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response is concerned.
