Civil-Military Collaboration for health emergency preparedness

STMU 2024 congress conference

Abstract

Since 2018, the World Health Organization (WHO) has urged member states and governments to establish their national response plans against emergencies and exceptional situations to be based on a close civil-military collaboration. Integrating the Military institution into the National Response Strategy allows the military to bring their field expertise. In this article, we will introduce the fundamental bases of civil-military cooperation and in the second part, we will take Tunisia as an example by detailing the extent to which this civil-military collaboration is developed.
