Resumen
Descripción
Health security has gained importance
in the face of COVID-19. It has demanded a relook at the
country’s preparedness and response capacities and the need
for sustainable financing for health security. Addressing
these issues has become more imperative when comprehended in
the context of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) which
promises equity in health without financial hardships. The
Joint External Evaluation (JEE) was the result of the
extended commitment from development partners to respond to
public health risks. The strategic actions of the World Bank
and WHO were soon translated into assessments and plans. The
JEE translated into the National Action Plan for Health
Security (NAPHS) in Pakistan. The World Bank developed the
Health Security Financing Assessment Tool (HSFAT) to
complement JEE and NAPHS. The purpose of HSFAT was to
support national governments to develop financing strategies
that link to prioritized national action plans for health
security and enable countries to develop a strong and
sustainable financing system. The report is divided into
four sections. The following section discusses the
methodology of the assessment. The results of the
qualitative and quantitative assessments are discussed in
Section 3. Section 4 covers the findings and recommendations.
