Infectious Diseases

Infectious Disease Planning

It's only a matter of time before the next pandemic hits. Will you be prepared?

When-not if-the next pandemic strikes, it will spread around the globe at lightning speed, transmitted by millions of travellers criss-crossing the globe. And the likelihood is that it will originate in Asia, in countries where many multi-national organisations are employing local staff and deploying global workforces.

When a pandemic or serious infectious disease strikes, you need to act fast to isolate the risk and close down the means of it spreading throughout your organisation. You need to know who is travelling, who is planning to travel and where they are in the moment. You need emergency medical resources and support that you can call upon instantaneously. And your plans must be fully integrated with your organisation's overall business continuity plan.

 

Swiss Assist International has a wealth of experience in this area, helping multi-national corporations, governments and NGO's develop and implement emergency response plans relating to medical emergencies globally.  

 

We can provide you with a comprehensive range of services to ensure that your organisation is fully prepared and able to respond rapidly when the next pandemic strikes:
