Abstract

The concept of global health security refers to the protection of individuals and societies from acute public health events worldwide. Global health security underpins the current framework for international preparedness and response to emerging infectious diseases but has suffered setbacks as epitomized by various epidemics.

Despite the establishment of the World Health Organization's International Health Regulations, multiple outbreaks have invariably occurred to date. Persistent threats of outbreaks and inherent challenges present an exceptionally compelling case for strengthening global health security. This chapter presents a synopsis of the global health security within the
