Project

United Nations Secretary General’s Mechanism (UNSGM) Biological Sample Transfer Virtual Tabletop Exercise (TTX)

Forty participants from 7 countries, the UN, and World Health Organization attended. The TTX focused on strengthening the UN Secretary-General’s Mechanism (UNSGM). Participants identified potential challenges and mitigation strategies when moving a biological sample across international boundaries during a UNSGM strong investigation into an alleged bioterrorism incident. Participants focused on the requirement for coordination at all phases of the mission between the UN team and support countries, and national-level coordination among different agencies involved to build resilience during the investigation.
