| Summary: | The handling of the 2009 A (H1N1) pandemic was the first time that the World Health Organizations’s revised International Health Regulations (IHR) were put to a test, and that pandemic plans implemented by countries during the preceding years were deployed. This crisis governance organized under the regime of preparedness raised vocal criticisms revolving mainly around the perceived disproportion between the size of the response apparatus and the reality of a virus that, after all, revealed to be mild. The numerous discrepancies between the planned sequences of the response—on a global as well as national scales—and the reality of the obstacles it faced gave the impetus for a variety of “lesson-learned” processes. These processes, in turn, are pushing toward a fast transformation of pandemic planning frameworks globally. |
