英文_世界卫生组织_健康-安全接口技术咨询小组（HSI-TAG）_2025年年度会议总结-每周流行病学记录（WER）_12页_763kb

The document is the 35th issue of the WHO Weekly Epidemiological Record for 29 August 2025. It focuses on the activities of the Health-Security Interface Technical Advisory Group (HSI-TAG), established in 2019 and acting under a 2022 mandate to advise WHO on bridging public health and security sectors for deliberate events (DEs), such as chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats.

Key elements from the analysis include:

• The 2025 annual meeting was held from 9-11 July, with discussions on progress, technical guidance, and strategic priorities for DE preparedness and response.
• Updates from WHO Secretariat highlight achievements like internal protocols, emergency staff rosters, pilot testing of national tools, and strengthened partnerships with agencies like INTERPOL and OPCW.
• Regional offices shared perspectives on challenges, such as funding gaps, technical expertise shortages, and vulnerabilities in Africa, the Americas, Europe, Eastern Mediterranean, South-East Asia, and Western Pacific.
• Activities of HSI-TAG working groups cover cybersecurity, DE-specific preparations, and risk assessment tools, with plans for broader consultations and engagement with WHO collaborating centers.
• Collaboration emphasized harmonizing standards, addressing cyber and information security gaps, and exploring new risks like AI use.
• Discussions underscore the need for revising the HSI definition and scope, ensuring focus on priority threats, and maintaining flexibility in the group's structure.
• A plan based on three pillars—preparing WHO against threats, supporting member states, and building partnerships—was endorsed, with actions prioritized for biological threats and laboratory biosafety.
• Additionally, the document includes epidemiological data on acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance and poliomyelitis incidence from the WH squat the point 2024 and 2025, showing global trends.

The HSI-TAG concluded with a reaffirmation of the importance of continued collaboration to address evolving health security threats.

For the AFP and polio data, trends show varying cases and rates across regions. The Eastern Mediterranean and African regions reported the highest polio cases, with global progress ongoing but challenges in achieving eradication. Note that "NP for AF S surveillance and incidence of poliomyelitis" is a direct quote but missing context.
