About SPH

About SPH Portal

The SPH Portal is an interactive digital platform that facilitates the sharing and exchange of information regarding multisectoral health security investments, activities, and capacities at national, regional, and global levels.

Capacity Assessment

Country Capacity refers to the combination of strengths, attributes, and resources available within a country to effectively manage and reduce health emergency risks while enhancing resilience.

Country Capacity

Governance

Navigate essential frameworks and mechanisms shaping global health emergency preparedness. Explore pivotal roles and collaborative efforts driving effective governance for resilient health systems.

governance

In light of the protracted nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, countries may wish to conduct periodic reviews during the event so they can continue to reflect on the ongoing response and revise national and subnational response strategies and plans as needed.

Strategies, Plan and Capacity Development

National Planning / Capacity Strengthening

National planning assists in determining the actions that should be taken in the upcoming weeks, months, and years to prevent, detect, and respond to risks and threats. These actions can be identified through comprehensive tools such as all-hazards National Action Plans for Health Security (NAPHS), disease-specific plans, contingency plans, and other sources.

Outcomes and Impact

This section offers a wealth of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), compelling case studies, insightful outputs, and inspiring outcome and success stories. Discover how our work creates meaningful and measurable results that drive positive change in the communities we serve.

Outputs and Impact

Partnership / Financing

The SPH Portal provides a comprehensive one-stop platform for partners and donors to identify gaps in a country's health security capacities, assess opportunities to target their financial and technical resources for the maximum public health benefit, and explore mechanisms for collaboration with countries.

Partnership / Financing

Research and Resources

The SPH Portal also furnishes stakeholders with documents, data, and resources encompassing critical areas essential for advancing global health security and emergency preparedness.

Resources

Explore a comprehensive repository of tools and materials designed to support global health emergency preparedness initiatives. Access curated resources, training materials, reference documents, and helpful links to empower stakeholders in their endeavors towards enhancing health security and resilience

Health Security Resources

Risk and Assessment

The risk and hazard to countries can be probabilistically determined as a function of hazard, exposure, vulnerability, and capacity. Current hazard or risk assessments can rely on country risk assessment reports, recurring events, ongoing events in other countries, and various other sources.
