Description: This training package has 2 portions. The first part is for hospital-based surveillance of signal events and the second part refers to the response of healthcare facilities once such an event is detected. We are not exactly sure where in your current categories would be the best place to locate it, especially since there is no surveillance section. Since it refers to health facilities preparation, maybe it could be included under pandemic preparedness?
