Description

The Collaborative Arrangement for the Prevention and Management of Public Health Events in Civil Aviation (CAPSCA) is a voluntary cross-sectorial, multi-organizational collaboration programme managed by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) with support from the World Health Organization (WHO). CAPCA was established in 2006 and is intended to bring together international, regional, national and local organisations to combine efforts to improve preparedness planning and response to public health events that affect the aviation sector.

Annual multi-sector, multi-stakeholder CAPSCA meetings are held in each of the ICAO regions. During the meetings, the apparoch to public health event management in the aviation sector is developed and harmonized globally.
