The Asia Centre for Health Security (ACHS) based at the Saw Swee Hock School Of Public Health, National University of Singapore and the World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a strategic collaboration to advance global health emergency preparedness through cutting-edge research, targeted capacity building, and dynamic knowledge sharing.
As part of the collaboration, a global academic network will be established, with ACHS hosting the secretariat to support WHO and Member State States on key research topics and priorities in health security.
With the aim of helping countries prepare, respond, and recover more effectively from health emergencies, ACHS will also support operational research projects, WHO capacity building activities and training programmes, and events to disseminate knowledge and evidence-based practices to connect academic researchers, policy experts, and health professionals.
