(SBU) Per Ref A request, contacts at the International Department of
the Ministry of Health and Social Development have told us their
ministry would be in charge of the distribution of pandemic
influenza assistance in the case of a human pandemic. Russia has
not yet adopted a comprehensive avian and pandemic influenza
preparedness plan. A draft plan is being reviewed by WHO, but needs
further refinement (Ref B). The draft mentions the general need to
coordinate and collaborate with WHO, but does not discuss who would
distribute assistance.
