HERA has commissioned a comprehensive Study mapping structures with relevant mandates, tasks, and functions to HERA within Member States and globally, identifying similar institutions across EU Member States, third countries, and multinational organisations. Covering 258 entities in 72 countries, the study provides an in-depth analysis of global pandemic preparedness efforts, offering valuable insights into the international health security landscape.
A key finding of the study is the crucial role of Ministries of Health in coordinating pandemic preparedness and response. The study underscores the importance of international collaboration and the role of supranational organisations in strengthening global health security through joint initiatives, information sharing, and best practice exchanges.
