During outbreaks and emergencies, WHO works with Member States and partners to ensure that at-risk and affected people have the information they need to protect their health and safety.
The WHO Health Emergencies Programme aims to make more of this information available on an ongoing basis to people across the Western Pacific Region. Countries are encouraged to reuse any of the messaging and materials posted here and adapt them for their own local context.
