Strengthening health systems in lower-middle-income countries (LMICs) in Africa through the WHO Hub for emergency preparedness and outbreak response.
Review in One health outlook, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases continue to pose significant threats to lower-middle-income countries (LMICs), particularly in Africa, where health systems are often resource-constrained and prone to disruptions. Drivers such as climate change, antimicrobial resistance, urbanization, civil war, poverty, globalization of travel, and high population mobility exacerbate outbreak risk and severity. This paper outlines how LMICs can strengthen health system resilience and respond more effectively to such threats by adopting practical tools and frameworks offered by the WHO Hub for Emergency Preparedness and Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence. Key initiatives, including Epidemic Intelligence from Open Sources (EIOS), the International Pathogen Surveillance Network (IPSN), and Public Health Intelligence (PHI) capacity-building, support early detection, genomic surveillance, and data-driven decision-making. We highlight practical strategies for LMICs, including integration of Hub outputs into national policy, sustainable financing, workforce development, institutional strengthening, regional collaboration, and monitoring and evaluation. While challenges such as infrastructure gaps, data governance, and reliance on external funding remain, the WHO Hub provides a structured pathway for LMICs to enhance outbreak preparedness, reduce response times, and mitigate the impact of future epidemics.
