<p>Global health security is underpinned by strong national health systems and international
cooperation. The UK is helping low and middle-income countries through building strong
and resilient health systems, which are well prepared and can protect people from
health threats, including potential pandemic diseases. The UK is a top donor to the
World Health Organisation's (WHO) Health Emergencies Programme, which leads the WHO's
work on supporting the world to prevent, detect and respond to disease outbreaks.
We also fund the Tackling Deadly Diseases in Africa programme, the International Health
Regulations Strengthening Project, delivered by Public Health England, and the UK
Emergency Medical Team to train and deploy emergency response personnel to urgently
respond to humanitarian emergencies. The UK also invests significantly in new technology,
products and research for disease control, prevention and treatment.</p>
