  • Strengthening and sustaining gender-based violence (GBV) coordination in emergencies

    Open AccessPhilomena Raftery, Alina Potts et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2026

    Gender-based violence (GBV) is a global public health and human rights crisis, requiring coordinated efforts to ensure effective prevention, risk mitigation, and response, particularly in emergencies. Despite policy commitments underlining the importance of addressing GBV in emergencies, funding remains insufficient, inconsistent, and poorly aligned with aid prioritisation in the changing humanitarian and global health financing landscape. This p…

  • Integrating mobile laboratories into global health security

    Open AccessOleg Storozhenko, Ahmed Albarraq et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    box Rapid Response Mobile Laboratories (RRMLs) provide deployable, adaptable and scalable diagnostic surge capacity in all types of health emergencies, enhancing outbreak response, surveillance and International Health Regulations (2005) core capacities, especially in resource-limited settings

  • Genomic surveillance during the first two years of the Covid-19 pandemic – country experience and lessons learned from Türkiye

    Open AccessSüleyman Yalçın, Yasemin Coşgun et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Background: Türkiye confirmed its first case of SARS-CoV-2 on March 11, 2020, coinciding with the declaration of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently, Türkiye swiftly increased testing capacity and implemented genomic sequencing in 2020. This paper describes Türkiye's journey of establishing genomic surveillance as a middle-income country with limited prior sequencing capacity and analyses sequencing data from the first two years of the pan…

  • A positive yet complicated case of gender-based violence coordination

    Open AccessPhilomena Raftery, Jinan Usta et al.ARTICLEDisasters2024Referências: 18

    Gender-based violence (GBV), a global health and human rights concern, often intensifies during emergencies. This paper explores the evolution of GBV coordination in Lebanon's protracted Syrian refugee crisis from 2012-22. Utilising 38 in-depth interviews and a document review, the findings were analysed using the framework for effective GBV coordination. Lebanon provides a positive yet complicated example of GBV coordination. Initially establish…

  • Strengthening pathogen genomic surveillance for health emergencies

    Open AccessOluwatosin Akande, Lisa L Carter et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a rapid scale-up in the use of genomic surveillance as a pandemic preparedness and response tool. As a result, the number of countries with in-country SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequencing capability increased by 40% from February 2021 to July 2022. The Global Genomic Surveillance Strategy for Pathogens with Pandemic and Epidemic Potential 2022–2032 was launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March …

  • Gender based violence (GBV) coordination in a complex, multi-crisis context

    Open AccessPhilomena Raftery, Jinan Usta et al.ARTICLEConflict and Health2023

    Experiences from Lebanon highlight the essential role of government leadership in coordination; the value of investing in local GBV capacity; the significance of effective national, subnational and intersectoral coordination to support service delivery and address cross-cutting GBV issues; the importance of targeted interventions to support marginalised populations; and the need to prioritize the well-being of front-line staff during crisis respo…

  • A conceptual framework for analysing partnership and synergy in a global health alliance

    Open AccessPhilomena Raftery, Mazeda Hossain et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2022

    Partnerships have become increasingly important in addressing complex global health challenges, a reality exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic and previous infectious disease epidemics. Partnerships offer opportunities to create synergistic outcomes by capitalizing on complimentary skills, knowledge and resources. Despite the importance of understanding partnership functioning, research on collaboration is sparse and fragmented, with few conceptu…

  • An innovative and integrated model for global outbreak response and research - a case study of the UK Public Health Rapid Support Team (UK-PHRST)

    Open AccessPhilomena Raftery, Mazeda Hossain et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    The UK-PHRST aims to enhance global outbreak response using an innovative and integrated model that capitalises on institutional strengths of the partnership. Insights suggest that despite adding complexity, integrating operational research through the government-academic collaboration contributed significant advantages. This promising model could be adopted and adapted by countries seeking to build similar outbreak response and research capaciti…
