Publisher's Synopsis
This report demonstrates that Asia faces high risks for global health security (GHS). The risk is made greater because of uneven capacities to respond among different countries and fragmented public health networks beyond influenza response, further demonstrated by the impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The report provides a comprehensive review of the capacity and gaps in Asia's GHS networks and U.S. agencies' GHS efforts in the region. The report includes recommendations aimed at helping U.S. policymakers develop practical steps to reassert GHS leadership in Asia with a whole-of-government approach under the 2024 U.S. Global Health. Security Strategy (GHSS).
