In times of the COVID-19 pandemic, adequate, reliable and timely information becomes even more relevant. The Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization office in Brazil and key partners have developed initiatives to improve access, sharing and dissemination of the information and knowledge produced, translated and systematized about COVID-19 as a technical contribution to the fight against the pandemic. This article presents some of these resources. The production and synthesis of knowledge made available in a timely manner to professionals on the frontline of response to COVID-19 is essential and a basic requirement for improving response capacity. It is also important to strengthen and increase investment in the production of scientific evidence, and to recognize and build upon the tireless work of a large group of scientists and institutions that continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
在新冠疫情期间,充分、可靠且及时的信息变得愈发重要。泛美卫生组织/世界卫生组织驻巴西办事处及主要合作伙伴已开展多项举措,以改善关于新冠疫情的信息和知识的获取、共享与传播,这些信息和知识是经过制作、翻译和系统化整理的,作为对抗疫情的技术贡献。本文介绍了其中一些资源。及时向应对新冠疫情的一线专业人员提供知识的生产与综合至关重要,这是提高应对能力的基本要求。加强并增加对科学证据生产的投资,以及认可并借鉴众多科学家和机构为应对新冠疫情所做的不懈努力也很重要。
