“…Of the 13 infrastructural studies, 6 examined organizational or structural components, such as immunization advisory committees and the laws governing immunization information systems, and their operation or effects. 24 –29 Three studies examined the mechanisms of change within the health system, such as accreditation and incentives, 30 –32 and 3 studies focused on system outcomes and outputs. 33 –35 Of the 13 infrastructural articles, 1 reported on the development of a monitoring and assessment tool for implementation of the International Health Regulations.…”

“…Across the work of WHO, the law of an individual Member State may act as an intervention tool, 18 as an important influence on the health of the population 19 or as a barrier to action 20 , 21 . While the existence of specific laws is not sufficient in itself for a strong health system generally or for effective legal interventions in specific threats, it is clear that the law matters for effective health practice.…”

A robust health infrastructure in every country is the most effective long-term preparedness strategy for global health emergencies. This includes not only health systems and their human resources, but also countries’ legal infrastructure for health: the laws and policies that empower, obligate and sometimes limit government and private action. The law is also an important tool in health promotion and protection. Public health professionals play important roles in health law – from the development of policies, through their enforcement, to the scientific evaluation of the health impact of laws. Member States are already mandated to communicate their national health laws and regulations to the World Health Organization (WHO). In this paper we propose that WHO has the authority and credibility to support capacity-building in the area of health law within Member States, and to make national laws easier to access, understand, monitor and evaluate. We believe a strong case can be made to donors for the funding of a public health law centre or unit, that has adequate staffing, is robustly networked with its regional counterparts and is integrated into the main work of WHO. The mission of the unit or centre would be to define and integrate scientific and legal expertise in public health law, both technical and programmatic, across the work of WHO, and to conduct and facilitate global health policy surveillance.

“…Even when funds are made available, allocation of those funds may prove difficult. Yeager, Hurst, and Menachemi (2015), in a study of allocation of PHER funding during H1N1, found that purchasing barriers and other administrative barriers such as fund transfer issues hindered the allocation of H1N1 funds.…”

Policy Making to Build Relationships: A Grounded Theory Analysis of Interviews and Documents Relating to H1N1, Ebola, and the U.S. Public Health Preparedness Network

In the last five years, the American public health emergency preparedness and response system has been tested by two significant threats, H1N1 and Ebola. While neither proved as dangerous as initially feared, these viruses highlighted on-going issues with collaborations in the field of public health and health care. Strengths were identified within the network, but also challenges that must be resolved before the U.S. faces a major pandemic. Employing interview data from public health emergency response practitioners and documentary evidence from the H1N1 and Ebola responses, this qualitative analysis uses the grounded theory approach to identify key areas for collaborative improvement. The grounded theory developed calls for a stronger policy framework at the federal level to facilitate more collaboration between U.S. agencies and facilitate more collaboration at the state and local level.

State Barriers to Appropriating Public Health Emergency Response Funds During the 2009 H1N1 Response

Abstract: Purchasing barriers were associated with delayed use of PHER funds. Moreover, the cumulative effect of any 3 barriers hampered the allocation of funds. Understanding barriers to using funds can inform future funding guidance for improved efficiency of response efforts.
