The Algerian National Health Security Agency (ANSS) and the World Health Organization (WHO) signed a biennial cooperation plan on Wednesday in Algiers, as reported by ANSS.
“In line with its ongoing missions and the implementation of its action plan, the National Health Security Agency (ANSS), represented by its president, Professor Kamel Sanhadji, and Dr. Hamadou Nouhou, the WHO representative in Algeria, signed this agreement on Wednesday at the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, National Community Abroad, and African Affairs,” the statement clarified.
The plan is the result of constructive dialogue, a thorough analysis of national needs and priorities, and alignment with global health strategies defined by the WHO, representing a “true contract of trust and shared responsibility.”
Thus, the plan aims to “combine strengths, pool expertise, and mobilize resources to deliver concrete and sustainable results that address the current health challenges we face,” the source emphasized.
In keeping with an ambitious vision, this partnership reflects a “concerted commitment” to achieving priority strategic objectives focused on epidemic and pandemic prevention through enhanced vigilance, strengthened surveillance capabilities, and the development of resilient health systems capable of effectively responding to health crises while ensuring equitable and quality access to care.
Additionally, this partnership seeks to promote health security and foster active community awareness, placing each citizen at the heart of preserving their own health.
By consolidating this strategic partnership with the WHO, the ANSS reaffirms its strong commitment to the health security of its citizens and its ambitious vision: to build a healthy, protected, and resilient nation against any health threat or risk,” the statement concluded.
