Applicazione e potenziamento del PIP (Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework) in ambito OMS: un’arma in più per affrontare le fasi successive al picco da Covid-19

Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) Framework, developed by the World Health Organization, is the only existing framework to face a global pan- demic crisis. It is aimed to define a line of intervention which overcomes charac- teristics of health systems and allows the Member States at accessing to vaccines and other benefits. Besides reviewing its evolution, this article attempts to explore whether – and how – PIP could support future political and economic challenges engendered by Covid-19. In the absence of a new global agreement, PIP may represent the first outline of a framework for reacting to the present pandemic crisis. Moreover, a revised and more robust version of PIP may increase preparedness to future health crises.
