How prepared is the world? Identifying weaknesses in existing assessment frameworks for global health security through a One Health approach

Tieble Traore et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the shortcomings of current assessments of preparedness and response capacities for public health emergencies. Existing frameworks lack consideration for complex factors such as social, economic, political, regulatory, and ecological aspects. One Health provides a valuable approach to analyze existing assessment frameworks and propose new paths forward by focusing on the interconnectedness of humans, animals, and ecosystems. To effectively address the range of complex systems involved in health emergencies, assessments should take into account how stakeholders define problems and the socio-political environments in which structures and institutions operate. The current frameworks inadequately consider anthropogenic factors in disease emergence and fail to address the full range of health security hazards across the social-ecological system. It is crucial for health security assessment frameworks to adhere to core One Health principles, prioritize capacity building, and evaluate interventions and outcomes in terms of added value, trade-offs, and co-benefits across human, animal, and environmental health systems.

Global and regional governance of One Health and implications for global health security

Azza Elnaiem et al.

Summary: The apparent failure of global health security in preventing or preparing for the COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the need for closer cooperation between human, animal, and environmental health sectors. However, the complex global governance of One Health, with its many institutions, processes, and legal instruments, has resulted in a fragmented multilateral health security architecture. This article examines four challenges in achieving effective One Health governance, including sectoral and institutional barriers, legal complexities, power dynamics in multilateral institutions, and inadequate financing mechanisms for prevention and preparedness activities. Three case studies are used to illustrate the global and regional dimensions of these challenges. The article concludes with 12 recommendations for addressing these challenges and emphasizes the importance of addressing social-ecological drivers of health emergencies beyond the expertise of human and domestic animal health experts.

Public health emergency preparedness for infectious disease emergencies: a scoping review of recent evidence

Jessica M. Lee et al.

Summary: This scoping review explores priority areas and indicators for public health emergency preparedness (PHEP) with a focus on infectious disease emergencies. The findings reveal key themes including collaborative networks, community engagement, risk analysis, and communication. Additional themes related to infectious diseases were also identified, such as mitigating inequities, research and evidence-informed decision making, and building capacity for vaccination.

The Perilous Mix of Populism and Pandemics: Lessons from COVID-19

Pandemic preparedness and COVID-19: an exploratory analysis of infection and fatality rates, and contextual factors associated with preparedness in 177 countries, from Jan 1, 2020, to Sept 30, 2021

Thomas J. Bollyky et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the global rates of COVID-19 infection and fatality. The results suggest that the variation in infection and fatality rates cannot be fully explained. Trust in government and interpersonal trust, as well as less corruption, are associated with lower infection rates and higher vaccination coverage.

Strengthening Health Systems To Face Pandemics: Subnational Policy Responses To COVID-19 In Latin America

Felicia Marie Knaul et al.

Summary: The study found high heterogeneity, consistency, and centralization in nonpharmaceutical intervention policies at the subnational level in Latin American countries responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. Results indicate the important role of subnational policies in crisis response, but also emphasize the need for coordinated national policies.

Explaining the failure of global health governance during COVID-19

Lee Jones et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, global health governance, especially the World Health Organisation, failed due to its pursuit of an illusory globalist approach and lack of capacity-building at the national level. The neoliberal approach to global governance, characterized by metagovernance and state transformation, hollows out international organizations and weakens nation-states, leading to the failure of global health governance even before COVID-19.

Lessons from the frontline: Leadership and governance experiences in the COVID-19 pandemic response across the Pacific region

Georgina Phillips et al.

Summary: This study explores the experience of leadership and governance during the COVID-19 pandemic from frontline clinicians and stakeholders in the Pacific region. The findings highlight the profound influence of politics on pandemic response effectiveness, with transparent communication, collaboration, mutual respect, and trust playing key roles in effective governance. The cultural assets of the Pacific region enhance the ability to respond to the pandemic.

A partisan pandemic: state government public health policies to combat COVID-19 in Brazil

Michael Touchton et al.

Summary: The national-level NPI responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil showed wide variation, with state policies not being homogenous or synchronized. The study found that opposition governors implemented more stringent sanitary measures earlier than those supporting the Bolsonaro administration. A strong, unified national response is crucial for keeping the population safe during a pandemic.

A global public health convention for the 21st century

Johnathan H. Duff et al.

Summary: The lack of WHO authority to monitor and enforce health regulations leads to inadequate global preparedness for disease outbreaks. A new global collective action framework is needed to ensure compliance with international regulations and enhance prevention and response to pandemics. Recommendations for a new global health security convention include greater authority for a global governing body, improved pandemic response, and effective enforcement mechanisms.

Punt Politics as Failure of Health System Stewardship: Evidence from the COVID-19 Pandemic Response in Brazil and Mexico

Felicia Marie Knaul et al.

Summary: The study introduces a new concept, "Punt Politics", and applies it to COVID-19 non-pharmaceutical interventions in Mexico and Brazil. Both countries exhibit characteristics of Punt Politics, including delegating responsibility to sub-national entities, lack of coordination, and disregard for scientific evidence, resulting in poor pandemic responses.

Factors Associated With SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Bogota, Colombia: Results From a Large Epidemiological Surveillance Study

Andrea Ramirez Varela et al.

Summary: The study found that younger age, living with more than three cohabitants, living with a confirmed case, having no affiliation to the health system, lower socioeconomic status, and working in essential occupations were associated with a higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Therefore, these populations should be prioritized in pandemic mitigation strategies such as screening, contact tracing, and vaccination.
