Public health intelligence competency framework

Overview

Rapid identification of and response to health threats are critical for global health security. Recent major public health events have underscored the need to define essential public health intelligence (PHI) competencies to mitigate effects of such events and support countries to meet health regulation mandates. To address this need, the World Health Organization, in collaboration with global partners, has created the Public health intelligence competency framework, which aims to standardize core elements and competencies of the PHI workforce.
