Strengthening Public Health Emergency Operations Center (PHEOC)
to Accelerate Malaria Elimination and Respond to Public Health Emergencies in Lao PDR Project
OVERVIEW
The overall goal of the proposed collaboration between the Department of Communicable Disease Control (DCDC), the Ministry of Health, and PSI are to stand up Lao PDR’s National Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to effectively detect and respond to disease outbreaks and public health emergencies. The project will specifically address gaps in the current EOC identified by the most recent International Health Regulations (IHR) Joint External Evaluation (JEE) undertaken by the Ministry of Health (MoH) with support from the World Health Organization (WHO), as well as recommendations from the EOC scoping mission carried out by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) in April 2018. To reach the last mile, malaria elimination requires robust surveillance and supply chain data, capacity to rapidly analyze data, and mobilization of resources to carry out a rapid response that will halt transmission – all of which will be aided by integrating malaria into the national surveillance system alongside 19 other notifiable diseases.
VISION
To support the Lao PDR MoH is to achieve the full capacity to detect and respond to any public health emergency, interrupt disease outbreaks (including malaria), and ultimately reduce the impact of these diseases on the community
MISSION
Specific objective 1: PHEOC Incident Management System (IMS) required infrastructure, human resources, and plans and procedures fully established.
Specific objective 2: PHEOC Surveillance Section including a PHEOC information system fully established and functional.
Specific objective 3: Coordinate and provide support for PHEOC Logistics strengthening to ensure that the PHEOC Logistics Section is fully established and functional.
Specific objective 4: Establish a Standardized Geo-Registry
Specific objective 5: PHEOC Sustainability Plan with effective Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) and coordination mechanisms developed and endorsed by MoH.
TARGET
Strengthening Public Health Emergency Operations Center (PHEOC) to Accelerate Malaria Elimination and Respond to Public Health Emergencies in Lao PDR.

OUR SOLUTION
Integrated vector control
We support national governments to implement the most efficient vector control strategy for their population to reach universal preventative coverage against malaria. We primarily support vector control activities related to increasing efficient coverage and proper use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). We use data and research to routinely analyze and improve our delivery of ITN interventions.
