The function of public health rapid response teams (RRTs) is to quickly identify, investigate, and control an outbreak before it can spread. The Central America Regional Office in Guatemala provided assistance to the Guatemalan Ministry of Health and Social Assistance (MSPAS) to develop RRT manuals at the district and regional levels. The manuals are divided into 4 sections: background, activity lists, standard operating procedures, and annexes. The manuals outline Guatemala's RRT members' responsibilities and will be tested in the near future through tabletop exercises. The development of the manuals is a concrete and significant step toward the attainment of Guatemala's IHR goals and should be integrated into a larger emergency management system to promote "a world safe and secure from global health threats posed by infectious diseases."
公共卫生快速反应小组（RRTs）的职能是在疫情扩散之前迅速识别、调查并控制疫情。危地马拉的中美洲区域办公室向危地马拉卫生和社会援助部（MSPAS）提供援助，以制定地区和区域层面的快速反应小组手册。这些手册分为4个部分：背景、活动清单、标准操作程序和附件。手册概述了危地马拉快速反应小组成员的职责，并将在不久的将来通过桌面演练进行测试。手册的制定是朝着实现危地马拉《国际卫生条例》目标迈出的具体且重要的一步，应纳入更大的应急管理系统，以促进“一个免受传染病造成的全球健康威胁的安全世界”。
