Joint External Evaluation (JEE)

Joint External Evaluation (JEE) is a comprehensive assessment tool used globally to evaluate a country's ability to prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats, such as infectious diseases. Conducted collaboratively by experts from the country and international organizations, JEE examines various health system components like surveillance, laboratory capacity, healthcare workforce, and emergency response. The goal is to identify strengths and gaps, guiding countries in improving their health security and preparedness. This process promotes transparency, collaboration, and targeted improvements to better protect populations from health emergencies.
