The ‘Nuggets’ of Knowledge (NoK) platform: How past experiential health emergency knowledge can inform future responses (26 September 2024)

Summary

The knowledge gained during the Covid-19 pandemic and other health emergencies could prove invaluable for planning responses to future health crises. In this blog, Dr Landry Ndriko Mayigane and Dr Stella Chungong from the Health Security Preparedness Department of the World Health Organization’s Health Emergency Programme describe how they devised the open-source ‘Nuggets’ of Knowledge (NoK) platform to facilitate effective knowledge management and continuity during health emergencies. The NoK platform collates vital knowledge collected by first responders during past and present health crises to inform the planning of interventions and actions during future emergencies.
