Abstract

Before the Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak of 2014-2016, Guinea did not have an emergency management system in place. During the outbreak, Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) 2014-2019 funds made it possible to rapidly improve the country's capacity to manage epidemics through the development of public health emergency operation centres (PHEOCs) at the national and district levels. Since the end of the response, the infrastructure, staff, and systems of these PHEOCs have been further reinforced and well-integrated in the daily activities of Guinea's National Agency for Health Security, the entity responsible for the management of epidemics. The development of PHEOCs as emergency management tools for epidemics in Guinea would not have been possible without a strong endorsement within the Ministry of Health. Guinea's PHEOC network is well-positioned to serve as a model of excellence for other Ministries in Guinea and Ministries of Health of other countries of West Africa.

几内亚公共卫生应急管理能力建设：2014-2019 年。

在 2014-2016 年爆发埃博拉病毒病（EVD）之前，几内亚尚未建立应急管理系统。疫情爆发期间，2014-2019 年全球卫生安全议程（GHSA）的资金通过在国家和地区两级建立公共卫生应急行动中心（PHEOCs），使该国管理疫情的能力得以迅速提高。自应急行动结束以来，这些公共卫生应急行动中心的基础设施、工作人员和系统得到了进一步加强，并被很好地纳入负责管理流行病的几内亚国家卫生安全局的日常活动中。如果没有卫生部的大力支持，几内亚就不可能将 PHEOCs 发展成为流行病应急管理工具。几内亚的 PHEOC 网络完全有能力成为几内亚其他部委和西非其他国家卫生部的典范。
