COVID-19‘s primary focus is to help save lives by bringing the world’s neglected and isolated communities back to life. The mission of the COVID-19 program is twofold: first, we aim to reduce the impact of diseases on humans by working with affected people in order to find a cure; and second, we accomplish this through our partner organizations’ collaboration with other partners in developing nations to take care of those who have become extinct because of disease. Read on for an overview of how COVID-19 works, its program partners, and some recoveries that illustrate what it means to be part of a global effort.
What is COVID-19?
COVID-19 is the largest partnership in history between the World Health Organization and the United Nations Development Program. The goal of the program is to prevent and reduce the impacts of future diseases on people’s lives by working with partner organizations in developing countries to take care of those who become extinct because of them. The program partners are the world’s leading health organizations: the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development, the German Federal Ministry for Work placed Disastry, and the United States Department of State. COVID-19 has been in operation since 2000, and it is the brainchild of former U.S. Secretary of State George W. Bush. The initial focus of the program was on countries that had no proven immunity to dangerous communicable diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, or dengue fever. In these regions, the programs aim to provide bio secure cities, where people have full and safe access to basic health services, as well as basic hygiene. In other regions, the mission becomes more specific: helping people in regions that have no proven immunity to diseases like Ebola, Zika, or Haiti desalination plants.
How Does COVID-19 Work?
COVID-19 works by having partners in developing countries collaborate with the centers of health in those countries to develop effective, affordable, and accessible health services. The idea is to reduce the number of lives lost each year due to communicable diseases in those regions because of their inability to access these services. To achieve this end, middle-income countries are divided into regions and offered a standardized approach to measuring progress against national goals. The two goals of the regions are “to end preventable, affordable, and elevated childhood morbidity and mortality due to communicable disease” and “to ensure access to quality, affordable, and reliable health services for all” through national health promotion programs. The regions are managed and operated by the regions’ health departments, which are responsible for ensuring the public access to quality health services. The member organizations of the regions serve as the bases of the supply chain, purchasing medications, sending patients to different institutions, and managing the delivery of services.
Partners in the Program
In addition to being part of the COVID-19 partnership, the World Health Organization also sends teams to partner with organizations in developing nations to develop health programs. These teams learn about health systems and their users, establish partnerships with local health departments to collect data, and train staff on how to collect and analyze data. The team-building aspect of the program is crucial to successful collaboration. Central to this aspect is developing strong relationships with key stakeholders in health, including the public health system, the private sector, and the private sector-based organizations that make up the regions. These partnerships form the basis for the supply chain, procurement, and services delivery functions, as well as the functions specific to the regions.
Results of Previous Recoversies
As can be seen from the chart above, COVID-19 has recovered significantly in two of its first 13 years of operation. The first was in the program’s first region: South America, where COVID-19 helped to bring the number of people who lost their lives to communicable diseases down to about one person per decade between 1961 and 2011—a reduction of more than 90 percent. The second was in the Northern part of Central America, which saw an increase of about 15 percent in the number of people who became cases of communicable disease. This recovery was also connected to the program’s work in neighboring regions.
