Pandemic preparedness and response in fragile, conflict and violence (FCV) situations

This brief discusses pandemic preparedness in fragile contexts or situations of conflict and violence. Robust pandemic preparedness and response is an urgent need necessary to address vulnerability and to prevent, detect and respond to an outbreak in FCV situations. It contributes to universal health security, protecting all people from threats to their health, and should be integrated in broader efforts to strengthen health systems and make them more resilient through multisakeholder coordination.
