Samoa First Pacific Island Nation to Develop a NAPHS

Samoa’s National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS) was established in cooperation with the World Health Organization (WHO). It provides a national roadmap that sets priorities and outlines the steps required to strengthen the island nation’s ability to prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats, such as experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The NAPHS will promote collaboration across sectors and communities, solidifying priorities to better understand where to allocate resources.
