Between 26-29 February 2024, Sri Lanka launched the development process for its National Action Plan for Health Security 2024-2028 (NAPHS) with a multi-stakeholder consultative meeting in Colombo. Over 80 national subject-matter specialists and technical representatives from the 19 NAPHS technical areas took part in the event alongside technical representatives from World Health Organization (WHO) Headquarters, WHO Regional Office for South-East Asia, and WHO Sri Lanka. During the meeting, working group sessions identified and prioritized activities to be included in both the new strategic (5 years) and the operational (12-24 months) NAPHS. Building on the results of the Joint External Evaluation conducted in February 2023, the exercise was further informed by the outcomes of the National Bridging Workshop (NBW) in February 2023 Performance of Veterinary Services in July 2023, and the Strategic Tool for Assessing Risks in May 2023). In Sri Lanka, results from these assessments were compiled prior to the meeting, but in future NAPHS, NBW activities will be automatically downloadable through the new e-NAPHS online tool.
