Our Community

The SARInet plus community will be hosted on Hive, a digital space powered by communities for health emergency preparedness and response. On Hive, members can collaborate, share knowledge, access reliable information, and engage in action-oriented activities to improve health emergency preparedness and response.

The objective of our Community is to establish a collaborative platform where members can actively contribute their expertise, co-develop solutions, and collectively strengthen our capacity to prepare for and respond to health emergencies. The community aims to promote cooperation and the exchange of knowledge and experiences related to the surveillance and management of influenza and other respiratory viruses with epidemic and pandemic potential in the Region of the Americas.

Members are expected to actively share knowledge, utilize and contribute to essential resources, and participate in a network dedicated to enhancing public health outcomes and effectively addressing shared challenges.
