For the Ise-Shima Summit to be held in Mie Prefecture on May 5 and 26, the University of Tokyo Policy Vision Research Center made four comprehensive proposals on the reconstruction of global health governance. He emphasized that the response of each country was delayed due to Ebola hemorrhagic fever in 27 and caused a social crisis, and proposed the construction of four frameworks.

According to the University of Tokyo, the four frameworks are
■ Global surveillance (* 1) framework
■ Framework that enables step-by-step decision making in multiple stages
■ Framework for situational adjustment
■ Framework for strengthening health systems in emergencies and peacetime
-So, it is said that this will rebuild global health governance.

 In the framework of global surveillance, the information infrastructure for grasping the actual situation of public health is insufficient, and the G7 is not fully equipped with the necessary capacity for crisis management and notification obligation required by the International Health Covenant. He urged countries to act as promoters and build a mechanism for each country to comply with the requirements of the International Health Code.

The framework, which allows for multi-step decision-making, suggests that the Secretary-General of the World Health Organization proceed with health risk assessment in an independent permanent body before issuing an international public health threat declaration.

In the framework of situational coordination, we requested that a mechanism be established to coordinate the cooperation of various international organizations according to the severity of infectious diseases and the response capacity of the country of occurrence.

Furthermore, the framework for strengthening the health system in emergencies and normal times positions the strengthening of the health system as development assistance in normal times, and calls for the emergency response fund established by the World Health Organization to be linked with the central emergency response fund of the emergency support framework. rice field.

(* 1) Surveillance Investigate and monitor infectious diseases.While "monitoring", which has a similar meaning, refers to continuous investigation and monitoring to prevent overlooking changes, "surveillance" has the meaning of thoroughly investigating and monitoring so as not to overlook bad parts.
