The Global Health Security (GHS) Index is an assessment and benchmarking of health security and related capabilities across 195 countries, aiming to inform foundation elements that need to be prepared for future pandemics.
The GHS Index has six categories: (1) prevention, (2) detection and reporting, (3) rapid response, (4) health system, (5) commitments to improving national capacity, financing, and global norms, and (6) risk environment. For more information about GHS, please click.
