This report focuses on the state of governance and coordination of health emergency preparedness and response, with a particular focus on activities that have occurred since the 2014-16 West Africa Ebola outbreak. Preparedness and response exist as two phases within a broader cycle of health emergency management. Preparedness is typically considered to be all activities related to strengthening emergency management systems up until the point that an event is detected. At which point, the response phase is activated. 

This report highlights the key findings and conclusions for the GPMB to consider as there is no time to lose in strengthening global preparedness and response.
