The World Health Organization (WHO) country office for Sri Lanka, with financial support worth EUR 2 million from the European Union (EU), will help improve emergency response capacities in Sri Lanka to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, the EU announced in a release.

The support will focus on several key areas, including enhancing the effectiveness of COVID-19 case management as well as preventing infection.

Developing the system’s case management processes will enable better planning, coordination, and decision-making; additionally, a key component of the grant, the advancement of a learning management system, will sustainably increase the health system’s capacity to respond to public health emergencies in the future.
