Resolve to Save Lives and the Republic of Kazakhstan invite you to the launch of the Emergency-Ready Primary Health Care (ERPHC) Framework and Operational Guide—a practical approach to embedding preparedness, response and resilience into routine primary health care systems.

Primary health care (PHC) is the first point of contact for most people—and the frontline of health emergency preparedness, detection, response and recovery. PHC facilities and the community health workforce are central to early warning, continuity of essential services and protecting communities during crises.

Yet despite growing global attention to preparedness, PHC and emergency systems remain insufficiently integrated. This fragmentation limits countries’ ability to translate investments into effective frontline action during emergencies.

The Emergency-Ready Primary Health Care (ERPHC) Framework and Operational Guide, developed by the World Health Organization and Resolve to Save Lives, responds to this gap—offering a coherent, all-hazards approach to integrate essential preparedness functions into everyday primary health care—strengthening how systems detect, protect and respond.

This side event will formally launch the framework and highlight how countries are already putting it into practice. Through high-level remarks and country experiences, the session will show what it looks like when preparedness is embedded into health systems—and what it takes to scale this approach globally.

Whether you are a minister of health, government leader, development partner or technical expert, this is an opportunity to engage with practical implementation, hear directly from country leaders and contribute to advancing frontline-ready health systems.
