The Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI), which founded the Global Health Security Index[1].
The index scores countries on how prepared they are for health threats.
The 2021 index assessed countries across 6 categories, 37 indicators, and 171 questions using publicly available information. A call was made to assess how the index's reliability would be improved by considering the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases and risk factors. The index is not a binding instrument and does not direct the One Health document.
It shows how a public ranking can shape how health security is understood, even though it is built from open sources and does not control government actions.
