The World Health Organization (WHO) and Peking University have entered into a two-year project collaboration agreement to strengthen global health emergency preparedness through research, training and innovative analytical approaches.

The collaboration, led by WHO's Department of Health Emergency Preparedness through its Risk Analytics and Action Reviews (RAR) Unit and Peking University's Institute for Global Health, will support efforts to strengthen prevention, preparedness, response and resilience for health emergencies. The agreement aligns with WHO's Fourteenth General Programme of Work and contributes to global efforts to improve preparedness capacities and support evidence-informed decision-making.
