Toward resilience for public health emergency response system during COVID-19: qualitative comparative analyses of 40 countries.

ABSTRACT: As a critical defense mechanism against COVID-19, the national public health emergency response system (PHERS) with high resilience enables effective identification, absorption, and resistance of epidemic crises. This resilience is essential for safeguarding public health and rapidly restoring social stability. However, existing studies primarily focus on single-aspect strategies in specific countries, lacking a systematic understanding of how resilience strategies influence PHERS resilience outcomes. Therefore, this study aims to establish evidence-based and configurational resilience strategies to improve the effectiveness of PHERS in responding to epidemic threats. This study proposes a theoretical framework to characterize resilience strategies and resilience outcomes for PHERS. The fu
