- Abstract
Objective. In response to the growing threat of pandemic risks and the recent experience of the Covid-19 pandemic, UNAM through the PUIREE carried out a multidisciplinary analysis to identify and prioritize essential actions for the response to pandemics in Mexico. Materials and methods. The structured Delphi method of communication and analysis was used, and a questionnaire was presented to the health and life experts. In three meetings, discussions were held about the actions that should contain a pandemic preparedness and response plan for Mexico. Results. Key areas of intervention were identified: the need for effective coordination between all levels of Government, health institutions and diverse sectors of the population; the importance of a transparent and effective communication system, as well as the strengthening of infrastructure and trained human resources for health care in public institutions. The need to invest in research and development to ensure self-sufficiency in the production of vaccines and medicines, as well as the implementation of early physical distancing and confinement measures, was also highlighted. Conclusions. Effective pandemic preparedness requires immediate actions to achieve comprehensive and multidisciplinary planning, as well as collaboration and communication between academies and related sectors to minimize the impact and threats of future pandemics. The above will strengthen Mexico's response capacity and serve as a model for other low- and middle-income countries.
