The WHO Strategic Partnership for Health Security (SPH) is a coordination platform for countries, donors and partners to share, inform, and collaborate in order to strengthen International Health Regulations – IHR (2005) capacity and increase global health security. The goal of SPH is to ensure that Member States, partners and donors are aligned and apply coherent “One Health” approaches in supporting countries to build and strengthen country their capacities to detect, prevent and respond to public health emergencies. These capacities are enshrined in the IHR (2005) and require well-functioning national health systems.
