Questions a resolution must answer ( QARMA)

QARMA 1.
An effective response to future pandemics would be :-
1.Recruit ,train and prioritize healthcare workers : Recruiting, training, and prioritizing healthcare
workers is crucial for maintaining a strong healthcare system, especially during times of crisis like the
COVID-19 pandemic. Frontline workers, including community health workers, play a vital role in
providing care, distributing vaccines, testing, reporting cases, and ensuring continuity of routine
healthcare services. Their dedication and efforts are essential for the well-being of the community and
the effectiveness of the healthcare system.

2.establish effective surveillance and response systems :

Establishing effective surveillance and response systems is crucial for monitoring and responding to
outbreaks, especially during a pandemic like COVID-19. Timely detection of clusters and new
variants is essential for implementing appropriate measures to limit virus transmission. Community-
level surveillance allows for early detection and rapid response to emerging threats, enabling central
health authorities to take necessary actions promptly. By having robust testing and reporting
mechanisms in place, public health officials can effectively track and control the spread of infectious
diseases, ultimately safeguarding the health of the population

3. Build confidence in health services through community health :

Building confidence in health services through community health is essential for ensuring the success
of vaccination campaigns and overall public health initiatives. Trust in healthcare workers,
institutions, and national health agencies is crucial for disseminating accurate information and
promoting evidence-based practices. By establishing trust and ensuring that guidance is respected and
based on scientific evidence, communities can be better prepared to prevent and respond to future
pandemics.

Effective communication with the public is also key in promoting access to healthcare services,
including vaccination programs. Providing clear information about the availability of vaccines,
locations for vaccination, and schedules for administering doses is vital for ensuring that individuals
are aware of and can access these services. This is particularly important in rural communities where
access to healthcare services may be limited, and temporary clinics play a significant role in
delivering essential healthcare interventions.
Include COVID-19 vaccines in routine immunization packages:
Ensuring easy access to COVID-19 vaccines at the community level is crucial for protecting
communities from the virus. Integrating COVID-19 vaccines into routine immunization packagescan
help make them more readily available to individuals as part of their lifelong vaccination regimen.
This approach involves expanding and strengthening routine immunization and primary healthcare
services to cater to adults while maintaining the protection of childhood immunization programs.
By incorporating COVID-19 vaccines into routine immunization schedules, healthcare systems can
streamline the delivery of vaccines and ensure that individuals receive necessary vaccinations
throughout their lives. This strategy not only enhances access to COVID-19 vaccines but also
contributes to the overall improvement of immunization coverage and healthcare services at the
community level. Prioritizing the integration of COVID-19 vaccines into routine immunization
programs is essential for effectively safeguarding public health and preventing the spread of the virus
within communities.
QARMA 2
Equitable allocation of resources will be done by:
Using The ACT-Accelerator which aims to speed up COVID-19 containment globally through fair
sharing of diagnostics, vaccines, and treatments. A Fair Allocation Framework is crucial for this,
especially for vaccines, which can help end the pandemic and aid in societal and economic recovery.
The Values Framework provides global guidance on ethical vaccine allocation between countries and
national prioritization of vaccination groups during limited supply.
Also by prioritizing groups :- `
These priority groups, at present, as determined by WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on
Immunization are:
Frontline workers in health and social care settings
People over the age of 65
People under the age of 65 who have underlying health conditions that put them at a higher risk of
death
