As we celebrate the second anniversary of the?7-1-7?Alliance, we’re highlighting stories of the?7-1-7?target in action. Health authorities at the local, state and country levels are increasingly using?7-1-7?to quickly detect potential disease threats, notify the proper channels, and begin an early response – acting faster and saving lives. ? Recife, Brazil was one of the first cities in the world to pilot the?7-1-7?target and used it effectively in 2023 during Carnival—one of the country’s largest events—to prevent any major outbreaks. Data shows impressive improvement in the city’s response to health threats: In 2024, 49% of outbreaks were detected, notified and responded to within the full?7-1-7target, an increase from 36% in 2023. ? Their success is teaching us that?7-1-7?improves outbreak performance when applied routinely, is effective at both the country and local levels, and hinges on the commitment of strong public health leaders.? ? Thank you to our partners in Recife and around the world who have shown over the past two years that it’s possible to act quickly to prevent epidemics.

We are really grateful to our partners at Burnet Institute for their support scaling the 7-1-7 target for timely outbreak detection and response in the #Pacific region. Their collaboration with the #Vanuatu Government is making significant progress, and we appreciate their efforts towards strengthening health security in the region.

The 7-1-7 target is being used in countries around the world to find and stop disease outbreaks quickly. Have you or a colleague worked on a successful outbreak response? Share your story with us.

The Philippines is among the latest?countries to adopt the 7-1-7 target to?detect and bring disease outbreaks under control more quickly and effectively. 7-1-7 is currently piloted in?Calabarzon,?the second most populous region of the?Southeast Asian?archipelagic state.?Last week, we joined?regional and local?leaders and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to train a very motivated group of?program managers and frontline staff on using the target.?Discussions are ongoing to scale 7-1-7 to other parts of the country.

Late last month, I had the privilege of joining public health experts from across the Caribbean for the Subregional Training on Early Action Review (EAR) in beautiful Bridgetown, Barbados. This training, organized by the Pan American Health Organization in collaboration with the World Health Organization (Headquarters), the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) and the 7-1-7 Alliance, brought together participants from 12 Caribbean nations to strengthen their capacities in outbreak detection, notification, and response.

Together, we explored strategies to integrate EARs into national health systems, building a foundation for improved pandemic preparedness and response. ?? ?????? ?????????????????? ?????? ?????? ????????????: Many of these countries are also beneficiaries of The Pandemic Fund this year, a vital resource for strengthening health security in the Caribbean. The EAR/7-1-7 metric, integrated into the Pandemic Fund's Results Framework, is a transformative tool for assessing and enhancing the timeliness of outbreak management. By focusing on detection within 7 days, notification within 1 day, and response within 7 days, this approach helps: ?? Evaluate health system performance ?? Identify bottlenecks ?? Promote accountability in outbreak management READ MORE ABOUT THE TRAINING HERE: https://lnkd.in/eZj3S4zn I am grateful for the invitation!!

Thank you for an incredible year! We are filled with appreciation for?the increasing interest and?efforts?to accelerate health?security with the 7-1-7 target worldwide.?Let's celebrate our collective accomplishments! #717Alliance

7-1-7 is the global target for containing epidemic threats: 7 days to detect an outbreak, 1 day to notify public health authorities, and 7 days to complete early response actions. But this target isn't just for collecting metrics—it’s also for performance improvement, advocacy, and accountability. At PATH, we're proud to collaborate with Resolve To Save Lives through the 7-1-7 Alliance to strengthen epidemic preparedness and response in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. "Together, we have worked to sensitize key stakeholders on the importance of timely and effective outbreak detection, reporting, and response," says Trad Hatton, Director of PATH's #CentralAfrica Hub and #DRC Country Program. "This partnership has been instrumental in fostering a shared commitment to improving health systems and ensuring a more resilient and prepared DRC."
