Epidemic Response Framework

The Epidemic Response Framework is a structured plan used by health organizations to identify, contain, and manage infectious disease outbreaks. It involves steps such as surveilling the spread, diagnosing cases, implementing control measures (like quarantine or vaccination), communicating effectively with the public, and evaluating the response’s effectiveness. The goal is to reduce the impact of the disease on health, society, and economy by responding quickly and efficiently. This framework ensures a coordinated effort among healthcare providers, governments, and communities to protect public health during an epidemic.
