Introduction
The September 2022 issue of WHO's Monthly Operational Update on COVID-19 highlights key aspects of the global response, including genomic surveillance, country experiences, public health initiatives, and funding efforts. Below is a concise summary of the content.

Global COVID-19 Response and Surveillance

• The African Region has made progress in genomic surveillance, with 40 out of 47 member states having sequencing capabilities, and 98% sharing genetic data through public databases. Vaccination efforts have covered over 4.9 billion people fully and 5.3 billion with at least one dose.
• Countries like Ethiopia, Nigeria, and South Africa shared stories on improving surveillance, noting challenges such as limited lab supplies and bioinformatics capacities. Lessons from past outbreaks, like Ebola, supported genomic sequencing expansions.
• Argentina enhanced data-driven decision-making for health emergencies, while Iran revised its influenza pandemic plan to integrate COVID-19 lessons and address gaps.
• Bolivia established COVID-19 situation rooms to improve surveillance and decision-making, funded by PAHO and partners.

Country-Specific Responses and Experiences

• Mali addressed mental health needs exacerbated by COVID-19 and conflict, deploying psychologists and combating stigma.
• Asia-Pacific parliamentarians emphasized resilient health systems and shared post-pandemic insights.
• Europe-focused workshops improved public health emergency management through collaboration with CDC.
• Panama received cold chain equipment to ensure vaccine efficacy in remote areas.
• India's Uttar Pradesh administered over 1.6 million booster doses in a single day, showcasing large-scale vaccination efforts.

WHO Collaborations and Initiatives

• WHO and the World Bank launched the Financial Intermediary Fund (FIF) for pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response, aiming to strengthen global capacities.
• New global guidance is being developed for respiratory pathogen pandemic preparedness, covering coordination, surveillance, and clinical care.
• The INITIATE² partnership designs standardized solutions, such as rapidly deployable infectious disease treatment centers, to enhance emergency responses.

Mental Health and Psychosocial Support

• Mali's WHO-supported initiatives tackled mental health issues, including GBV-related stigma and case referrals, benefiting 5314 individuals.

Health Security and Preparedness

• Funding appeals highlight a $479.6 million gap for WHO's COVID-19 response, with $1.079 billion received and pledged in 2022.
• New WHO publications include policy briefs on COVID-19 testing, clinical management, vaccination, and infodemic management, along with updates on second booster doses and HRH impacts.

Key Updates and Resources

• WHO's OpenWHO platform reached 7 million enrollments, promoting public health education in 65 languages.
• The African Region continues genomic surveillance for COVID-19 and other diseases, with three centers of excellence established.

Appeals and Funding Updates

• WHO's 2022 Global Health Emergency Appeal calls for US$2.7 billion, with $1.079 billion pledged for COVID-19 response, targeting equitable access to tools and support.
