Advancing epidemic preparedness of health systems
BMC Health Services Research is calling for submissions to a Collection of articles on advancing epidemic preparedness of health systems.
The term epidemic preparedness encompasses all the activities that are undertaken from the national to the local health facility levels to be ready and respond effectively to disease outbreaks.
Along with recent public health emergencies and other disease outbreaks, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed large and critical gaps at the level of health systems in terms of epidemic preparedness and their dramatic impact on access, delivery and quality of health care nationally and globally. This demonstrated how essential it is to prioritize actions to increase the capacity of institutions, health systems and emergency response agencies to detect, report and respond to epidemics.
Thus, this collection seeks to present research aiming to advance epidemic preparedness at the health systems level. We, therefore, welcome submissions that cover all aspects of this collection topic.
