NAPHS for all: a country implementation guide for national action plan for health security (‎NAPHS)‎

Overview

A national action plan for health security (NAPHS) is a country-owned, multi-year, joint planning process that can improve the implementation of IHR core capacities, based on an all-hazards, multisectoral, whole-of-government, whole-of-society, and One Health approach. It includes national priorities using a risk management approach and other key data for health security; it brings sectors together, identifies partners, and allocates resources for health security capacity development.

This updated NAPHS guide replaces the previous WHO “NAPHS for All” guide published in 2019 and reflects recommendations from technical experts and Member States based on lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic. It is aligned with the WHO NAPHS Strategy 2022–2026, as well as with the global architecture for HEPR.
