The WHO Health Emergencies EPI-WIN webinar on 'Strengthening the governance of national public health agencies for emergency preparedness and response' is a crucial event for anyone interested in global health governance. This webinar delves into the often-overlooked role of governance in the effectiveness of National Public Health Agencies (NPHAs) during emergencies. By examining the governance models of ten NPHAs across diverse settings, the study highlights the importance of clarity and enforceability of legal mandates, operational autonomy, data and evidence sharing, and financing arrangements in shaping emergency preparedness and response. The webinar will bring together global partners to reflect on these findings and identify practical lessons for NPHA reform and strengthening. It will also provide a platform for country perspectives from different governance models, offering a comprehensive view of how governance arrangements impact emergency action in practice. This event is a must-watch for anyone interested in the future of global health governance and the role of NPHAs in preventing, detecting, and responding to public health threats.
