Database and Information Sharing at Points of Entry - Overview Daniel Lins Menucci Team Leader Ports, Airports and Ground Crossings HSE/GCR/CAD-PAG-Lyon
Why enhancing coordination and communication between PoE, transport sector and national surveillance systems? Good response to events : Improve surveillance capacities Early detection, risk assessment and rapid response to events Depending on the event, rapid communication of information: from conveyances to point of entry from point of entry to point of entry from point of entry to National Surveillance Center from National Surveillance Center to point of entry from IHR NFP of country A to the IHR NFP of country B and then to the point of entry of country B From IHR NFP to WHO and vice-versa Monitoring and informing existing core capacities and health measures adopted at PoE Fostering collaboration
IHR Sources and tools to detect events Previous port of call IHR articles 27, 30, Annexes 3 and 5 Pilot & Ship Master MDH, GENDEC-Health Part or other tools and means of communication IHR articles 28 and 37 During a routine inspection IHR articles 27, 29 and Annex 3 WHO website for affected areas & recommendations IHR articles 18, 22, 23, 25, 37 & Annex 5 Competent authority at PoE NFP & Other formal channels IHR articles 4, 44 Informal channels
Public Health Preparedness and Response at PoE Arrangements: Hospitals & facilities - transportation - treatment - isolation - diagnosis PoE Arrangements - Quarantine - Conveyance inspection - vector control - disinfection Coordinator WHO Public health authority: National Surveillance and Response system IHR NFP Infect. Dis.. security Relevant sectors & stakeholders Mechanisms: - Event communication - Collaborative investigation - Coordinated response (e.g. examination, disinsection, derating, disinfection, decontamination, contact tracing, etc)
Communications concerning ill passengers and other health risks detected onboard Art 28 Officers in command of ships and pilots, or their agents, shall make known to the port or airport control, as early as possible before arrival at the port or airport of destination, any cases of illness indicative of disease of an infectious nature or evidence of a public health risk on board as soon as such illnesses or publish health risks are made known to the officer or pilot. Detect and report any urgent or unexpected health related events on board
National Obligations Under IHR : events related to international travel and trade Inform WHO within 24h public health risks identified outside its territory (Art.9): Imported or exported: Human cases; Vectors which carry infection or contamination; or Goods that are contaminated. Affected Conveyances (Art.27) Report to the IHR National Focal Point about additional health measures, including isolation of the conveyances; Inform competent authority of next known point of entry if not able to take required control measures and obtain satisfactory results Slide 20/31
Synergies Aviation - Public Health Pilot-in-command to notify ATC as soon as he is aware of a suspected case of communicable disease on board ( IHR Art 28 and Convention of Intentional Civil Aviation Annex 9 - Facilitation 8.15 ) IHR(2005)Annex 9 and Convention of Intentional Civil Aviation Annex 9 Facilitation Health part of aircraft general declaration Public Health Passenger Locator Card (Convention of International Civil Aviation Annex 9 Facilitation, Appendix 13)

WHO PoE database Project Needs derived from managerial, operational work and collaboration POE Core capacities status International travel and transport Movements at PoE POE contact information PoE details Authorised port List Certification for airports and ports
Actual status of WHO IHR PORT LIST
POE Database - Objectives Collects a large set of data on port, airport and ground crossing: Description/PoE details Status of IHR core capacities Authorization of Ship Sanitation Certificates Movement of passenger and cargo conveyance at PoE Contact information (competent authority, PoE organizational information links, etc ) WHO IHR certification of airports and ports Customized reports (PoE, National, Regional & Global)
POE Database - Audiences WHO regional IHR contact point WHO country office IHR NFPs IHR NFPs will have the possibility to delegate the data entry to "competent authorities" for specific POE or Group of POE (ie: airport, port, provinces, departments, etc ). Public information (e.g. for travel and transport sector)
POE database - Structure 1 - Public consultation interface (now and future): - current port list PDF - interactive map (future) - search tools (future) 2 - Data entry interface - workflow - info needed 3 - Tools for generating reports
POE database public consultation interface 1- Current stage: IHR authorised port list
