The past two years have seen much debate about EU planning for a potential pandemic. How prepared are we? Nationally, plans seem to be coming together, but what major gaps still exist and what are the best practices to be shared? Financially, are countries properly addressing business continuity planning? Are existing operational strategies for the purchase and distribution of anti-virals and vaccines sufficient?
On January 24, the SDA will host a small group of high-level European health policy officials and security experts for a dinner debate examining EU preparedness.These on-the-record dinners allow free-flowing discussion around the table for 20 to 30 participants to exchange views and ideas.
