What health actions should be prioritized by schools during the prevention, response, and recovery stages of this pandemic?
How can different bodies work together to maximize resources?
How to adapt school health work in a socially distant environment?

Join us to discuss Save the Children’s and UNICEF’s responses to the recent COVID-19 pandemic. We will present technical guidance and tools to support schools in addressing the competing priorities associated with a pandemic response to ensure the well-being and safety of their population. We will also commemorate World Health Day (April 7), whose theme this year is Support Nurses and Midwives.
