Policy Zika
Introduction

There is a great need for the government to have a Zika policy document. The disease is
leading to the deaths of many children and causing severe birth defects. For instance, the rate of
babies with congenital microcephaly (this is a birth disorder in which a child that is born has a
smaller head than expected for sex and age) is going high. Formulating the Zika policy is a
necessity to help the society in dealing with this health problem. This policy defines the
infrastructural mechanisms as well as the implementation of the various programs in institutions
to help reduce the impact of the Zika virus (Jackson, 2016). The strategy targets the general
public. Different stakeholders are vital towards ensuring that the policy will be successful. The
primary two stakeholders are the government and the health facilities in the country.
It is the responsibility of all people to ensure good health is maintained in the community
for success. For this policy to be successful, all the stakeholders need to work within the
frameworks which will be provided. A successful policy will always have a clear structure that
governs the directions taken to achieve its objectives.
Objectives of Policy Zika
Some of the primary objectives of the policy are:
❖ To increase knowledge and awareness to the people concerning the Zika Virus, its new
trends and the implications it causes to the pregnant women (Nelson, 2016).
❖ To provide the local government, the health institutions, and the state government with
information as well as tools which will help them in preparation in responding to the Zika
challenge.

❖ Provide the best communication practices regarding the situation at hand and the best
methods of mitigating the risks involved.
❖ Help in reducing the gap between the government and the medical bodies in the country
during times of crisis. Make them work hand in hand to provide the best solution to all.
❖ Help the infected and affected people in the community.
❖ Provide a continuous update of the Zika Virus.
Formulation
Holding a meeting with the major stakeholders will mark the initial stage of the policy.
These will be the government officials and the heads of the various health departments in the
country. The government officials are the representatives of the people in the community who
ensure that they are served at the best of their interests. Involving medical experts will help in
providing relevant information regarding the current Zika situation. Details of how the Zika
policy will work will be presented at this stage.
The following will take place in the formulation process:
1. Useful information regarding the Zika virus will be shared. This will include transmission
modes of the disease, impacts it brings to the society, the effects it has on the pregnant
women, among several others. At this point, the medical experts will be majorly relied
upon due to their knowledge in the science field regarding the spread of the disease.
2. Strategies to address the Zika probl...
