Financial Assistance for Health Security: Effects of International Financial Assistance on Capacities for Preventing, Detecting, and Responding to Public Health Emergencies.

Financial AHS is associated with positive effects for several core health security capacities.

Future work should continue to investigate these relationships in different contexts and examine other factors that may contribute to capacity development.
