About Global Health Security Coordination Office

GHSCO is dedicated to strengthening global health security by facilitating collaboration, coordination, and knowledge sharing among all stakeholders at both national and international levels.

GHSCO will

  • contribute to scaling up sustainable capacities

Our Core Values: Equity, Connection, and Collaboration

Health equity is recognized as a fundamental pillar of global health security. Ensuring inclusive and equitable access to health resources is particularly crucial for low- and middle-income countries, which often face disproportionate challenges in pandemic preparedness and response. To address this, all related stakeholders must work together to develop comprehensive strategies that enhance global readiness for future health threats.

Connection and Collaboration are the cornerstones of resilient health systems and a safer world. GHSCO works across borders and sectors to bring together partners who share a common goal: Protecting Global Health through Collective Action.

With its global partners, GHSCO is building a more connected, collaborative, and equitable future for global health security.
