Strategic pillar 3
To ensure that Member States establish and maintain adequate capacity for effective preparedness and response, progress must be continuously monitored and periodically evaluated. This includes annual reporting to the World Health Assembly, an obligation under the IHR (2005), as well as voluntary forms of qualitative and quantitative assessments, which can assist in the development of comprehensive national action plans to address identified weaknesses.
The fulfilment of this obligation by States Parties of the European Region contributes to mutual accountability and the shared building of health security in the Region.
