HHS Releases National Health Security Strategy
On January 7, 2010, HHS released the National Health Security Strategy, which sets priorities for government and private activities designed to protect the population’s health during a large-scale emergency, such as bioterrorism, pandemics, and natural disasters. The strategy and accompanying interim implementation guide outline 10 objectives to achieve health security, including goals in such areas as communications, workforce development, integrated health care delivery systems, and access to medical countermeasures.
