Following more than a decade under the revised IHR, only a third of countries meet the core capacities of public health systems required therein, 2 impacting countries' abilities to prevent, detect, and respond to disease outbreaks and putting "the whole world at risk". To ensure accountability for national capacity building, states should integrate an effective reporting mechanism to monitor implementation of IHR obligations.
