  8. Global SARS Response: Laboratory WHO: - Global network of 11 leading laboratories, secure website, conference calls - Coordination of specimen acquisition - Facilitate rapid identification of causative agent, development of diagnostic tests CDC: - Specimen transport and processing - >3000 int’l specimens processed from 27 countries - Key role in virus isolation, characterization and diagnostic test development and deployment

  9. CDC SARS Response: Reagents CDC shipments of SARS diagnostic materials to national and international academic centers, commercial companies, and governmental agencies

  10. CDC SARS Response: Lab Capacity International Recipients of SARS diagnostic materials

  12. Global SARS Response: Communications WHO: - Secure GOARN website - WHO SARS website with daily updates - WHO global conference calls - CDC-DHHS-WHO video conferences CDC: - Public Response Hotline (phone calls, emails, clinician hotline) - Daily response team briefings and regularly scheduled conference calls - SARS satellite broadcasts - SARS page on CDC website

  13. CDC SARS Response: Communications News media calls handled: 10,166 News releases issued: 12 Live telebriefings/news conferences: 21 Health care responder conference calls: 30 Public Response Hotline: 34,229 phone calls answered 3,557 emails answered 2,017 physician hotline calls answered 3 SARS satellite broadcasts: >1.9 million participants CDC SARS website: 17 million page views (3.8 million for April 20-26)

  18. Global SARS Response: Lessons Resources: Magnitude of response need and financial burden;shortage of available skilled responders; critical contribution of in-place personnel, epi/surv networks, local/national partnerships Laboratory: Logistics of specimen collection, transport, processing; technical challenges around new pathogen Communications: Need for accurate, consistent, timely information in a rapidly changing environment Capacity building: Need for well validated diagnostics; training; infection control expertise Politics: WHO/CDC response to Taiwan; coordinating role of WHO; importance of existing networks and partnerships
