Webinar: PAHO’s initiative for the elimination of communicable diseases

The Elimination Initiative is a strategic effort led by the Pan American Health Organization and countries in the Americas to eliminate over 30 communicable diseases and related conditions by 2030 through a comprehensive and integrated approach. Unlike single-disease elimination programs, it addresses multiple diseases simultaneously, optimizing resources and efforts by reinforcing key cross-cutting elements such as strengthening health systems and integrated health services, reinforcing surveillance and information systems, addressing social and environmental determinants of health, and reinforcing governance, stewardship, and finance. The initiative prioritizes sustainability, focusing not only on achieving elimination targets but also on maintaining them by engaging communities and ensuring local ownership.

The objective of this webinar is to disseminate knowledge and best practices related to PAHO's Initiative to eliminate communicable diseases in the Region of the Americas.
