The practical value of the GHS Index |
| T28 |
37-267 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The GHS Index could serve as a powerful tool for measuring and motivating sustainable financing at national, regional and global levels, and its findings could help catalyse political will to fill gaps in health security capacity. |
| T29 |
268-602 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The GHS Index also measures indicators directly related to epidemic and pandemic preparedness alongside indicators of broader strengths needed to reinforce health systems, such as political, security and socioeconomic factors that could shape country risk landscapes and capacities to prevent, detect and rapidly respond to outbreaks. |
| T30 |
603-870 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Additionally, it complements ongoing efforts to build accountability for national preparedness, such as the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board, the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) and the World Bank Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Multi-Donor Fund.5 |
| T31 |
871-1144 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The GHS Index also aggregates otherwise scattered qualitative and quantitative data into a consolidated, publicly available format that facilitates comparison and monitoring, and provides extensive documentation of expert-vetted health security capacities and capabilities. |
| T32 |
1145-1408 |
Sentence |
denotes |
GHS Index data are thus a valuable complement to after action reviews, JEEs and workshops to develop National Action Plans for Health Security (NAPHS), as well as for drawing comparisons across geographies at the level of both individual questions and categories. |
| T33 |
1409-1779 |
Sentence |
denotes |
With data collection activities pending for the next iteration of the GHS Index, we hope to eventually be able to monitor national, regional and global trends in health security-strengthening efforts over time, identify when countries deprioritise investments and capacities and include new measures of pandemic preparedness informed by global experiences with COVID-19. |
| T34 |
1780-1899 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Globally and nationally, the GHS Index also identifies existing vulnerabilities in preparedness for biological threats. |
| T35 |
1900-2138 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Systematically cataloguing and monitoring these weaknesses could help inform budget allocations and spending decisions, and aid policymakers in setting priorities for health security-strengthening and health systems-strengthening efforts. |
| T36 |
2139-2249 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Finally, the GHS Index is valuable in its framing of global health security as a multisectoral social project. |
| T37 |
2250-2482 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Effective outbreak prevention, for example, depends in part on addressing root causes of disease emergence, such as those captured in GHS Index indicators examining land use changes, veterinary workforces and agricultural practices. |
| T38 |
2483-2858 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This multisectoral lens—which incorporates measures of country fragility and other political, economic and environmental vulnerabilities—creates a tangible starting point for One Health coordination platforms or national disaster management committees to work across sectors, engage non-traditional partners and formulate multisectoral solutions to complex health challenges. |
| T39 |
2859-3250 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Though processes like JEEs and NAPHS development are intended to be multisectoral, it is the health sector that most often functions as the entry point for other stakeholders and sectors that may not have explicit mandates to strengthen health security.6 The GHS Index thus recognises—and measures—the benefits of whole-of-society approaches to health security that transcend any one sector. |
