... The IHR are the current framework for country preparedness for infectious disease outbreaks and require 196 State Parties to develop and maintain core health system capacities in the face of acute public health risks such as infectious disease threats of international concern. Core capacities in this framework are organized into three categories related to prevention, detection, and response, which include subdomains (e.g., health workforce, laboratories, data systems, and risk communication)
From page 153...
... Strong health systems are key: "Underresourced, understaffed, and fragmented health services are unable to contain outbreaks of serious infectious diseases or to adequately respond to health emergencies" (Save the Children, 2015)

From page 155...
... The papers reviewed, consistent with prior work, recognize that for both effectively preventing and mitigating outbreaks timely sharing of information of research and health technology efforts is critical. While this topic was less well explored than national core capacities or global governance, several papers have outlined problems with vaccine readiness, sample sharing, and other issues related to the handling of epidemiological, genomic, or clinical data both during as well as after pandemics.
