Id Subject Object Predicate Lexical cue
T40 0-32 Sentence denotes The value of scoring and ranking
T41 33-228 Sentence denotes Scoring is an intuitive method of summarising complex health system capacities across diverse contexts, monitoring longitudinal and cross-sectional trends and advocating for needed policy change.
T42 229-412 Sentence denotes Scoring is also used widely across many areas of global health, economic, policy and development research, as well as in established health security evaluation tools like the JEE.7–10
T43 413-624 Sentence denotes In general, scoring is an effective method for measuring, motivating and monitoring efforts to strengthen infectious disease management capacities across high-income, middle-income and low-income settings alike.
T44 625-1302 Sentence denotes The Africa Leaders Malaria Alliance, for example, produces scorecards that track country progress in improving financing, capacity-building and increasing coverage of health services for malaria, neglected tropical diseases and malnutrition.11 And, between 2012 and 2016, publication of scores from the Nuclear Security Index (produced by the Nuclear Threat Initiative and developed with EIU) encouraged 10 countries to remove or dispose of highly enriched uranium within their territories.12 The Human Development Index has similarly emerged as a valuable tool for guiding decision making and monitoring policymaking at both national and subnational levels in many countries.8
T45 1303-1603 Sentence denotes In this vein, the GHS Index provides high-level composite scores for each country and offers considerable granularity and transparency in scoring justifications at the indicator and sub-indicator levels, with the aim of helping decision makers pinpoint discrete capacities that require strengthening.
T46 1604-1704 Sentence denotes Notably, GHS Index scores have been used by some countries to create new metrics of health security.
T47 1705-1891 Sentence denotes For example, Malaysia’s Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation—in collaboration with PEMANDU Associates and the Sunway Group—has developed a Global COVID-19 Recovery Index (GCI).
T48 1892-2188 Sentence denotes GCI Scores are calculated from dynamic estimates of confirmed cases and death rates by country (which receive a weight of 70%), along with static measures of prevention capacities (GHS Index, category 1) and public health vulnerability (GHS Index, Indicator 6.5), which receive a weight of 30%.13
T49 2189-2448 Sentence denotes Like scoring, ranking is an effective way to galvanise change in low-performing countries and identify outliers, such as countries that score unexpectedly well despite limited resources, or those that rank poorly despite undertaking capacity-building efforts.
T50 2449-3138 Sentence denotes Outliers, in turn, should prompt deeper analyses of such findings.14 Morse writes, too, that ‘the ‘league table’ style of presenting rankings is…meant to be picked up by the media, and through them the public, non-government organisations, pressure groups, aid agencies and so on, and ultimately provide pressure on decision makers to bring about positive change.’15 Regardless of their overall score and rank, all countries—including high-performing states—should examine specific GHS Index indicators closely as a means of identifying critical weaknesses to address through capacity-building, funding, legislation or other approaches (see the Considerations for GHS Index users section).
