Résumé : | The purpose of this Futures Forum was to facilitate better understanding among policy-makers of response to sudden health threats by hearing from colleagues who have faced sudden health emergencies in their countries. It was agreed that openly reviewing the measures taken and their impact is vital to ensuring the best possible preparedness for similar health risks in the future. This briefing therefore aims to help equip policy-makers to respond to any sudden health threats against which the European public may need to be protected based on the case studies and lessons drawn. The report has four sections. Following this introduction, section 2 is devoted to heat-waves, containing several case studies, the lessons drawn and the epidemiology of heat-waves. Section 3 focuses on selective chemical and biological threats and contains a number of case studies and lessons drawn. Information on the epidemiology of chemical and biological threats would have exceeded the scope of this report and is therefore not included. Section 4 contains conclusions from the Futures Forum. The Annex contains an alphabetical listing of tools on systemic responses to the selective threats presented in sections 2 and 3. The list will contribute to a set of policy tools for high-level decision-makers to be developed towards the end of this Futures Forum cycle on tools for decision-making in public health. |
