Background This Environmental and Social Management Framework (EMSF) is developed to support the environment and social due diligence provisions For activities Financed by the World Bank Group Fast Track COVID-19 Facility (FCTF) , using standard components as described in Annex 2 oF the COVID-19 Board paper. This Project complements the longer-term development work in the Health Sector, including the Mongolia’s E Health Project (P131290) which seeks to improve integration and utilization of health inFormation and e-health solutions For better health service delivery in selected pilot sites. The Project was approved by the World Bank Board on 9 April, 2020 and was effective on 9 April 2020. This Project was selected For COVID-19 Financing because Mongolia Faces an elevated risk For COVID-19 outbreak spread. The scope and the components oF this Project are Fully aligned with the COVID-19 Fast Track Facility, using standard components. A phased response through the COVID-19 Fast Track Facility is proposed. While support will surely be needed to respond to the economic impact oF COVID-19 on households, businesses and government budgets, the World Bank’s approach is to lead with the health response. As a first step, the majority of operations processed through the Fast-Track Facility will be health sector operations to respond to urgent preparedness and response needs related to the COVID-19 outbreak. One of the challenges with the response to COVID-19 is the availability (and price) oF medical equipment and supplies. Rapid investments to build capacity, including through procurement of equipment, will be necessary to ensure the system is able to meet the increased demand From complicated COVID-19 cases. Indeed, there will likely be growing disruption to economic activities, businesses and livelihoods. Options For support through other Financing instruments are being explored as the Facility is established and through country consultations. While addressing the COVID-19 is an immediate priority for the Government of Mongolia the Project will in tandem strengthen health system preparedness for similar future public health emergencies. The Project will therefore address some oF the immediate needs For responding to COVID-19 including risk communication, strengthening response capacity and investing in the building blocks For a coordinated multi-sectoral approach. It will Further address health system gaps in the availability of drugs, medical supplies and equipment in key hospitals and aimag centers to meet the surge of expected patients and enhance the quality of patient care. This ESMF Follows World Bank Environmental and Social Framework and addresses risks identiFied in the updated Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP)1, and the updated Stakeholder 1 https://documents.worldbank.org/en/publication/documents-reports/documentdetail/957021585174181217/environmental- and-social-commitment-plan-escp-mongolia-covid-19-emergency-response-and-health-system-preparedness-project-p173799 4 | Page Mongolia- Covid-19 Project, ESMF Engagement Plan (SEP)2. As part of the World Bank support, the Ministry of Health is required to develop and implement this EMSF throughout the duration oF the Project. In case a CERC is triggered, the ESMF will be updated or a stand-alone CERC ESMF will be developed to address E&S risk management requirements oF the emergency related activities to be Funded. The Following sections describe the environmental and social due diligence across all the anticipated project activities. 1.2 Objective, Rationale and Application of the ESMF This Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) assists the MOH in identiFying the type of environmental and social assessment that should be carried out for all activities funded by the project (original project, PEF support and additional financing), including activities that involve the expansion of vaccine central storage, rehabilitation and/or operation of healthcare facilities, and the deployment of a safe and effective vaccine in response to COVID-19, and in developing the environmental and social (E&S) management plans in accordance with the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Framework (ESF). The World Bank is providing support to Governments For preparedness planning to provide optimal medical care, maintain essential health services and to minimize risks For patients and health personnel (including training health Facilities staFF and Front-line workers on risk mitigation measures and providing them with the appropriate protective equipment and hygiene materials). As COVID-19 places a substantial burden on inpatient and outpatient health care services, support will be provided For a number oF diFFerent activities, all aimed at strengthening national health care systems, including systems For the deployment of a safe and effective vaccine. This ESMF has been developed For use in such projects. It includes the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) (Annex III) and the Infection Control and Waste Management Plan (ICWMP) (Annex IV). The ESMP identiFies potential environmental, social, health and saFety issues associated with the construction and operation of healthcare Facilities in response to COVID-19. The ICWMP Focuses on inFection control and healthcare waste management practices during the operation of healthcare Facilities. The ESMP and ICWMP set out appropriate measures For inFection control and waste management during operation oF the relevant healthcare Facility. The ESMF is complemented by other instruments including the Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) and Labor Management Procedures (LMP), which speciFically address requirements under ESS 10 and ESS2 respectively. 2 https://documents.worldbank.org/en/publication/documents-reports/documentdetail/773991585914437112/stakeholder- engagement-plan-sep-mongolia-covid-19-emergency-response-and-health-system-preparedness-project-p173799

  • NACCHO | 2019 National Profile of Local Health Departments
    National Profile 2019 of Local Health Departments Acknowledgments Public health is at the forefront of public attention and discourse worldwide in a way that is unparalleled in modern times. COVID-19 brought the normally hidden work of public health into the limelight and has held it there with a variety of fascinating results. “Epidemiologist” is now a common word, news outlets routinely discuss the merits of population testing metrics, and for months, the nation tuned into briefings by the White House Coronavirus Task Force headed by Vice President Pence. During the pandemic, data from the National Profile of Local Health Departments (Profile) studies have been in great demand. The data have been highlighted by NACCHO and its national partners in communications to policymakers, as well as featured in newspapers, magazines, and newscasts all over the country. Profile data are an incredible source of context for the current COVID-19 pandemic response. In fact, the Profile study is the only longitudinal study of its kind focused on the infrastructure and practice of local health departments (LHDs). As such, it highlights the impact of the continued underfunding of public health around the country. As health departments tackle the largest pandemic in modern history, the workforce is strained, resources are redirected to the response, essential services are disrupted, and leaders are faced with political pressures ranging from firings to death threats. In support of LHDs, NACCHO and its funding partners at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) remain committed to providing evidence regarding the state of local public health that is objective, accurate, and useful.

  • Public Health in Florida – Yesteryear
    Public Health in Florida – Yesteryear FLORIDA'S PUBLIC HEALTH CENTENNIAL William J. Bigler Department of Health 1317 Winewood Boulevard, Tallahassee, Florida 32301 Reprinted with permission from Florida Journal of Public Health, Vol. 1, No. 3, May, 1989, p. 7-19. Figure 1. Cover of Florida Journal of Public Health Vol. 1, No.3 May 1989. ____________________________________________________________ In 1989 William J. Bigler, Ph.D, was Deputy State Epidemiologist for the HRS State Health Office, Disease Control and AIDS Prevention Program. He was initially employed by the Florida State Board of Health 34 years ago as a biologist, has since served in HRS Health Programs as Research Coordinator, Epidemiology Program Supervisor and Biological Administrator, and is currently Senior Epidemiologist with the Department of Health, Bureau of Epidemiology. 2 Abstract Florida's State Board of Health (SBH) was created on February 20, 1889. Historical records during the next century, document that public health programs and policies have influenced the state's political, social and economic infrastucture as well as the quality of life of it's populace. Quarantine, fumigation, vaccination, sanitation, and public education were initially used to control yellow fever, malaria, dengue fever, smallpox, and cholera. World War I brought venereal disease (VD) and epidemics of influenza, dengue fever and plague were encountered shortly thereafter. Statewide mosquito control efforts made the state more habitable. Then hurricanes wreaked havoc when the Great Depression caused massive cuts in budgets and programs. Federal "relief" programs provided some funds for health needs, but not enough. VD was again a problem during World War II. Health care for military dependents, the exploding population and industrial development brought new challenges.

  • Governors' Emergency Declarations During the Covid-19 Pandemic
    SYMPOSIUM: PANDEMICS AND THE CONSTITUTION CALLING THEIR OWN SHOTS: GOVERNORS’ EMERGENCY DECLARATIONS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC Maggie Davis∗ Christine Gentry∗∗ Trudy Henson∗∗∗ In April 2020, thousands of protesters assembled in front of state capital buildings and governors’ homes, often in violation of state stay-at- home orders, calling for the end of state emergency orders put in place to combat the spread of COVID-19.1 Much of the messaging at these protests centered on the devastating economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the widespread use of non-essential business closures and stay-at-home orders to curtail disease transmission. In a reversal of the traditional call for states’ rights, some of the protestors called into question the constitutional authority of governors enacting emergency orders in response to COVID-19, calling the action overreaching and violative of federal and state constitutions.2 State powers to quarantine, isolate, and take other measures to protect the public health and welfare, however, are well-established. The police powers, reserved for states in the Tenth Amendment3 and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in Jacobson v. Massachusetts,4 give states and their governors extremely broad powers to enact “reasonable regulations” * J.D., M.A., University of Maryland Center for Health and Homeland Security ** J.D., M.P.A., University of Maryland Center for Health and Homeland Security *** J.D., University of Maryland Center for Health and Homeland Security 1.
