Summary

This week, we sat down with Catalin Bercaru and Niklas Bergstrand to talk about their recent missions to Poland and Romania as part of the World Health Organization's Ukraine Emergency Response.

Communication is a key part of ECDC's response to ongoing health emergencies, and so Catalin and Niklas give us an insight into what is involved and how the theoretical can become practical.
