On Wednesday 8 November 2023, WHO organized a workshop with technical teams in HQ on NAPHS, to discuss how health security planning can be better linked to the work that technical teams do in support of Member States capacity building efforts. This one-day workshop was a follow up to a series of in-person and online meetings with WHO HQ Technical Teams involved in supporting the development, assessment and review of national emergency preparedness using the International Health Regulations (IHR) Monitoring and evaluation framework (MEF) tools.
