Emergencies
India continues saving lives and livelihoods – recording more COVID-19 recoveries while lifting restrictions
WHO is committed to saving lives and protecting health in times of crisis – whether caused by outbreaks, conflicts or disasters.
The WHO Health Emergencies Programme harnesses the expertise and resources of the three
levels of WHO – country offices, regional offices and headquarters – to help Member States build the capacities required to prepare for, prevent, respond to and recover from all hazards that create health emergencies. When national capacities
are overwhelmed, WHO works alongside ministries of health and partners to lead and coordinate the international health response.
