DESCRIPTION:Date:         23 October 2023 \nTime:         10:00 to 11:30 \nRegister:    Click here to register  \nVenue:      Zoom (link to be provided upon registration) \nBACKGROUND \nSouth Africa is currently grappling with a notable resurgence of measles\, a highly contagious viral infection that poses a serious threat to public health. This outbreak has raised concerns about immunisation coverage\, healthcare infrastructure\, and the broader impact on community well-being. As a means of contributing towards a solution\, ASSAf is hosting a webinar to propose strategies to effectively manage and mitigate the ongoing and future measles outbreaks. \nThis webinar aims to: \n\nInform: Communicate accurate and up-to-date information about the measles outbreak\, including its causes\, transmission\, symptoms\, and potential consequences.\nDiscuss Contributing Factors: Examine factors that have contributed to the outbreak\, such as vaccine hesitancy\, gaps in immunisation coverage\, healthcare access disparities\, and challenges in disease   surveillance.\nShare Best Practices: Explore successful strategies employed by healthcare organisations\, government agencies\, and NGOs to contain and manage measles outbreaks\, within South Africa and globally.\nFormulate Action Plans: Collaboratively propose action plans and recommendations for immediate response and long-term prevention strategies to curb the measles outbreak and prevent future   recurrences.
