The strengthening of public health systems internationally is integral to the improvement and protection of global population health. Essential public health functions and services are provided for by a range of organisations working together, often co-ordinated and strategically led by national Ministries of Health. Increasingly, however, National Public Health Institutes (NPHIs) are being developed to better integrate and support the delivery of these services. In this paper, we outline the role of NPHIs, analyse their advantages and shortcomings, and explore their potential to deliver enhanced public health through collaborative networking as well as partnership with WHO.
加强国际公共卫生系统对于改善和保护全球人口健康至关重要。一系列组织共同提供基本公共卫生职能和服务,这些组织通常由各国卫生部进行协调并提供战略引领。然而,越来越多的国家正在设立国家公共卫生机构(NPHIs),以更好地整合并支持这些服务的提供。在本文中,我们概述了国家公共卫生机构的作用,分析了它们的优缺点,并探讨了它们通过合作网络以及与世界卫生组织建立伙伴关系来提升公共卫生水平的潜力。
