Supporting HERA since its inception, McKinsey has helped establish the technical foundation to underpin decision making in critical areas of emergency preparedness. Our work has included:
Analyzing stockpile feasibilities
Developing tools to model the impact of flexible manufacturing capacities
Providing relevant data and insights to create new strategies for how the European Union could approach diagnostics and testing solutions
These were implemented in the goal of bolstering HERA’s readiness and responsiveness to public health emergencies.
Utilizing horizon scanning to identify the latest trends in health threats and technology and advanced data analytics, we supported the creation of three robust, evidence-backed decision-making tools. To navigate the complexity at stake, it was critical to ensure the right level of cooperation and collaboration between key European partner agencies such as the ECDC, EMA, and Member States while also involving industry leaders.
