Infection control projects bring additional challenges to the customer in the form of concerned families, negative media attention, sensitive work environments, and health department reporting/permit reviews. |
USA Decon retains the capabilities and discretion to address each of these requirements, as well as technically communicate the protocol, surrounding infection control. |
Infection Control Challenges Infection penetrates the media on a daily basis. The recent Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections in schools, the meningitis infection at Prairie View A&M in Texas, Norwalk infection at retirement communities, the recent Vibrio cholerae (cholera) outbreak in Northern Iraq, and the Anthrax attacks of 2001 show that disease outbreak control is an integral part of our society and economy.
Different types of infection require various methods of containment. Attempts to contain infections due to cholera range from water treatment and vaccinations while MRSA outbreaks are fought with elevated sanitation methods such as comprehensive disinfection and hygiene measures.
One of the most potent types of infection, and potentially the widest ranging, is pandemic influenza. In the last century, three influenza pandemics have swept the globe. In 1918, the first pandemic (the “Spanish Flu”) killed over 500,000 Americans and more than 20 million people worldwide. |
Today’s threat is from a new influenza strain, influenza A (H5N1). H5N1 is spreading through bird populations across Asia, Africa, and Europe, infecting domesticated birds, including ducks and chickens, and long-range migratory birds. The first recorded appearance of H5N1 in humans occurred in Hong Kong in 1997. Since then, the virus has infected over 200 people in the Eastern Hemisphere, with a mortality rate of over 50 percent. |
Global Response Begins at Home On November 1, 2005, President George W. Bush announced the National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza, a comprehensive approach to addressing the threat of pandemic influenza.
The strategy outlines how we are preparing for, and how we will detect and respond to a potential pandemic. Since this announcement, our Nation has taken a series of historic steps to address the pandemic threat. In December 2005, Congress appropriated $3.8 billion.
|
Our National Strategy The National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza announced by President George W. Bush consists of a three-pronged approach to responding to potential pandemic threats: - preparedness and communication
- surveillance and detection
- response and containment
Preparedness for a pandemic requires the establishment of infrastructure and capacity, a process that can take years. For this reason, significant steps must be taken now.
The Strategy affirms that the Federal Government will use all instruments of national power to address the pandemic threat (National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza, Executive Summary).
The goals of the Federal Government response to a pandemic are to: - stop, slow, or otherwise limit the spread of a pandemic to the United States
- limit the domestic spread of a pandemic, and mitigate disease, suffering and death
- sustain infrastructure and mitigate impact to the economy and the functioning of society
The central pillar of the pandemic response will be in communities. The distributed nature of a pandemic, as well as the sheer burden of disease across the Nation over a period of months or longer, means that the Federal Government’s support to any particular State, Tribal Nation, or community will be limited in comparison to the aid it mobilizes for disasters such as earthquakes or hurricanes, which strike a more confined geographic area over a shorter period of time.
Private Industry Solution Local communities will have to address the medical and non-medical effects of the pandemic with available resources.
USA Decon offers a private industry solution to a potentially severe public problem. |
