N2 - The public health emergency response workforce has experienced unrelenting pressure during the past decade. Countries in the Western Pacific Region have responded to significant outbreaks of avian influenza, Zika virus disease, Middle East respiratory syndrome, vaccine-derived poliovirus, measles and the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, as well as natural disasters; they also supported the response to Ebola virus disease in West Africa during 20142016.1 For public health responses to be effective, we must continue to identify optimal mechanisms to support people working in challenging public health responses.
