As little data exists to support whether the Panel's recommendations reflect public health professionals' priorities in the region the study aimed to define these priorities utilizing a Delphi study.<h4>Study design</h4>A consensus-building modified Delphi technique.<h4>Methods</h4>For the first two rounds, participants were asked to rank a list of topics across seven domains on a 4-point Likert scale. Topics voted by at least 75 % of participants in either round as very important were included in the final round. Participants ranked the topics from each of the seven domains in numeric order to define top priorities.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 115 responses were obtained across three rounds. Most respondents were involved in direct efforts against COVID-19 (75·0-86·%) and a considerable proportion had more than 16 years of public health experience (37·3-50·0 %). The top priority issues were zoonotic disease-pathogen surveillance systems (27·4 points), robust infection and prevention control programs (22·8 points), and indicator and event-based monitoring and reporting systems (22·1 points).<h4>Conclusions</h4>Establishing priorities for future pandemics is critical to ensure better health outcomes.
