HealthPAHO Celebrates 50 Years of Health Emergency Preparedness in Americas
In June 2026, two powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela, testing health authorities and emergency responders. PAHO quickly activated regional coordination mechanisms to support national and international response efforts. Health facilities were assessed, medical supplies mobilized, and Emergency Medical Teams from across the Americas prepared for deployment, marking 50 years of PAHO's role in strengthening health emergency preparedness and response.
