Increase testing capacity. Create more awareness among population and address them from a unified political and social front to ensure that everyone follows preventive measures not just for themselves but for those around them.

Clear and constant messaging on use of masks and physical distancing. agrawal_pawan https://padlet.com/iahmad5/yjntk3wtunt159yw/wish/653438011 2. The entire health system should be able to exhibit the preventive measures so that people could understand their importance.
3. No health centers are designed to cater two different patient groups at the same time. Hence separate COVID centers should be selected and established so that routine healthcare is not hampered.
4. Build up systems in national, provincial and municipal level to respond to COVID and any similar outbreaks in future.
5. Leveraging the crisis management fund to build and strengthen the primary care system.]]> 2020-07-13 17:01:17 UTC https://padlet.com/iahmad5/yjntk3wtunt159yw/wish/653438011 quickly increase national wide awareness to ware mask, wash hand and stay home, keep good healthcare communication to the public-daily data update and spread the key info to all age and all ethnic groups across the country; close cooperation with local government keep close monitoring; set up comprehensive IT system for tracing; share researching results and data transparency to the world; take responsibility to contribute to globe pandemic control.

Additionally, it would be very important to improve infrastructure for health, water and sanitation and effective communication. 

For a resource poor county like Nigeria, social empowerment Is key. Many people survive on daily earnings making it difficult to comply with stay at home orders. Also, the government would need to subsidize the cost of face mask and sanitizers as well as make water supply a priority at all community level. 

A multi pronged, multi disciplinary and multi sectoral approach would need to be adopted]]> 2020-07-13 18:09:00 UTC https://padlet.com/iahmad5/yjntk3wtunt159yw/wish/653490133 akarkey https://padlet.com/iahmad5/yjntk3wtunt159yw/wish/653978242 Have a robust surveillance system for all diseases: existing and emerging and integrate this into the overall health system. 
Incorporate awareness campaigns, and testing to national response plans. 
It has to be a multi disciplinary approach

1. Training of Human Resources in the Department of Health and health facilities. Lack of expertise in the Department of Health may have contributed to the poor governance it demonstrates.
2. Secure and harmonized information communication and technology system that is able to collect accurate data and share health data among stakeholders. This system could generate evidence for health policies.
3. Basic health infrastructure, medicines, and supplies. Available data shows that there is too much inequity when it comes to access to health care. Allow building of select specialty care health facilities based on burden of disease.
4. Primary care and coordination of patient care in networks of health facilities. Regardless of ownership, health facilities should work together in delivering people-centered care.
5. Health promotion. Prevention is key!

I believe the funds/donations Pakistan is receiving to combat COVID should be used in a way that COVID screening+testing+early treatment should be integrated within the Primary Health Care setup. This would also add to re-equipping the Primary health facilities which can be sustained for future use too.

2. Availability of contingency funds for epidemic response beside usual budgetary allocation 

3. Strict coordination of response between federal and state level
