ESWI launches Q&A booklet on the A(H1N1) pandemic

16 February 2010

Pandemic preparedness measures taken by national governments in Europe are now the subject of critical debate.

Obviously, such a discussion must be based on correct and science-based information. To provide this information, ESWI organized the third edition of its Pandemic Preparedness Workshop for Public Health Officials on 22 January in Brussels.

A summary of the lectures and the discussions held at the workshop have now been compiled in a brochure. In an easily accessible Q&A format, this magazine elaborates on pandemic preparedness as seen from the scientists point of view. The text can be distributed and copied freely. Additional questions and feedback are always welcome.
