Socioeconomic inequality and decomposition of core capacity in global health security: the role of health system.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Core capacities in preparedness, detection, and response to health emergencies were fundamental to achieving health equity. However, evidence on the socioeconomic inequalities in country-level global health security (GHS) capacities remains limited, and the role of the health system in contributing to these disparities is insufficiently understood.

Methods

We assessed the socioeconomic inequalities in country-level GHS capacities and decomposed the role of health systems in shaping these inequalities by applying the GHS index and Joint External Evaluation. We conducted the decomposition based on a linear regression model with the determinants reflecting economic status, social development, and the health system. We also decomposed the changes in the concentration
