Monrovia - The Ministry of Health (MOH) and the National Public Health Institute of Liberia (NPHIL), with support from the World Health Organization (WHO) have ended a two-day validation meeting for Liberia’s National Action Plan for Health Security (NAPHS). The NAPHS will align with all health security interventions, through the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA), using the One Health Approach and the government’s broader health system strengthening whole society approach. The next step from the validation is to launch this national plan during the national health conference,” Mr. Nagbe noted. Speaking at the opening, Dr. Alex Gasasira, WHO Country Representative, praised the government for the progress in strengthening health security and achieving greater capacity in International Health Regulations. Dr. Gasasira further stated that the validation of the Plan will help Liberia address critical health areas that need attention.
