The International Association of National Public Health Institutes (IANPHI) is a member organization of government agencies working to improve national disease prevention and response. IANPHI is made up of 100 members, located in 88 countries. The goal of IANPHI is to improve health outcomes, particularly in low-resource countries, by strengthening or creating NPHIs. IANPHI is based at the Emory University Global Health Institute (USA), the National Institute of Public Health (INSP) of Mexico and the Institute for Public Health Surveillance (InVS) of France. Coordinated by Secretary General Hernandez-Avila, the IANPHI team is responsible for member relations and programs (Mexico), policy, communications and NPHI development projects (USA) and the annual meeting scientific program (France). The majority of funding for IANPHI has come from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Emory WHSC :: Press Releases )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Emory WHSC :: Press Releases )〕 Since its creation in 2006, IANPHI has provided grant money for 73 individual projects in 45 different countries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WHAT WE DO )〕 Today, IANPHI concentrates most of its resources on long-term projects, which take three or more years to implement.〔Greenspan, Allison.

NPHIs, including China CDC, INSP in Mexico, FIOCRUZ in Brazil and others in 88 countries around the world, have been major contributors to reductions in morbidity and mortality from infectious and noncommunicable diseases. Many, including the CDC and the National Institute for Health and Welfare (Finland), have developed over several decades while others, including NPHIs in the United Kingdom and Canada, have been created following poorly managed threats such as BSE and SARS, in recognition that a coordinated system with a specialized institution is needed to effectively respond to disease threats. NPHIs lead national efforts for disease surveillance and outbreak investigation (to monitor population health trends and detect and resolve outbreaks), laboratory services (to identify and confirm disease threats), health programs (including recommendations for immunizations and maternal and child health initiatives), and education and research (including new treatments and technologies). NPHIs give governments the ability to assess and address major disease threats in a country, both acute and long-term, using scientific, evidence-based policies and strategies. Focused disease control programs driven by external priorities and investment have improved health in many countries. NPHIs are particularly valuable in low-resource countries, where they create a career home for public health researchers and scientists – fostering the evidence-based approaches necessary to ensure that government policies are based on scientific evidence rather than politics. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Association of National Public Health Institutes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
