Health policy, collaboration and investment in the post-Covid era
Open AccessSohel Saikat, Sohel Quaderi Saikat et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2026
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed weaknesses in health systems globally, highlighting chronic underinvestment, fragmentation, and a lack of preparedness with catastrophic impact on public health, economies and societies. Lessons learned reconfirmed the necessity to build health systems resilience, integrating efforts to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and health security in tandem. This study identified 63 global and regional policies, collab…
The dynamic preparedness metric
Open AccessVernaccini Luca, Luca Marco Vernaccini et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025
These results emphasize the importance of a dynamic, risk-informed approach to health emergency preparedness assessment. Tracking shifts in hazards, vulnerabilities, and capacities enables refinement of health emergency preparedness and readiness planning, fostering more responsive and effective health security strategies

Learning from past public health emergencies Nonetheless, knowledge from past emergencies and epidemics facilitated a rapid response to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in its early phases, in some countries.Countries adjusted their policies based on past crises, such as the EVD outbreak in West Africa, the cholera outbreak in Haiti, the MERS and SARS outbreaks, and the H1N1 pandemic (5).Countries used any available knowledge to adapt thei…
Mapping the international health regulations monitoring and evaluation framework
Open AccessRobert Nguni, Nirmal Kandel et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024
The International Health Regulations Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (IHRMEF) includes four components regularly conducted by States Parties to measure the current status of International Health Regulations (IHR) 2005 core capacities and provide recommendations for strengthening these capacities. However, the four components are conducted independently of one another and have no systematic referral to each other before, during or after each p…

Open AccessBarbara Burmen, Cynthia Bell et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2023
box The International Health Regulation core capacities are essential for detecting, assessing, notifying, reporting and responding to public health risks and events of national and international concern
Improving global health security through implementation of the National Action Plan for Health Security in Sierra Leone, 2018–2021
Open AccessCharles Njuguna, Mohamed Vandi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023
IHR annual operational planning and implementation using evidence-based data and tools can facilitate strengthening of IHR capacity and should be encouraged

Operationalisation of consensual One Health roadmaps in countries for improved IHR capacities and health security
Open AccessStephane de La Rocque, Guillaume Belot et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021
The COVID-19 pandemic is a devastating reminder that mitigating the threat of emerging zoonotic outbreaks relies on our collective capacity to work across human health, animal health and environment sectors. Despite the critical need for shared approaches, collaborative benchmarks in the International Health Regulations (IHR) Monitoring and Evaluation Framework and more specifically the Joint External Evaluation (JEE) often reveal low levels of p…

Simulation exercises and after action reviews – analysis of outputs during 2016–2019 to strengthen global health emergency preparedness and response
Open AccessFrederik Anton Copper, Landry Ndriko Mayigane et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2020
BACKGROUND: Under the International Health Regulations (2005) [IHR (2005)] Monitoring and Evaluation Framework, after action reviews (AAR) and simulation exercises (SimEx) are two critical components which measure the functionality of a country's health emergency preparedness and response under a "real-life" event or simulated situation. The objective of this study was to describe the AAR and SimEx supported by the World Health Organization (WHO)…
Getting the most from after action reviews to improve global health security
Open AccessMichael A Stoto, Christopher Nelson et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2019
Assessment of core capacities for the International Health Regulations (IHR[2005]) – Uganda, 2009
Open AccessJoseph Francis Wamala, Charles Okot et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010
The assessment highlighted critical gaps to guide the IHR(2005) planning process. The IHR(2005) action plan should therefore be developed to foster national and international public health security
Conceptual framework of public health surveillance and action and its application in health sector reform
Open AccessScott J N McNabb, Scott JN McNabb et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2002
This approach permits a cost analysis, highlights areas amenable to integration, and provides focused intervention. The final public health model becomes a district-focused, action-oriented integration of core and support activities with enhanced effectiveness, technical efficiency, and cost savings. This reform approach leads to sustained capacity development by an empowerment strategy defined as facilitated, process-oriented action steps transf…
