Health Security Partners

Experts from HSP, Intreped Partners and Jacobs, served as the training team for the TNI Intermediate Biosafety & Biosecurity and Brisk Management Training Workshops, held from 2-6 February 2026, in Medan, Indonesia. This training for 16 clinical laboratory professionals from TNI hospitals in North Sumatra was hosted at the Putri Hijau Hospital. Funded by the U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), this is part of a multi-year engagement with the Indonesian Ministry of Defense to build a cohort of laboratory professionals to implement best practices for biosafety, biosecurity and biorisk management at military hospitals across Indonesia.

Fifteen mid-career public health professionals joined forces with mentors, ICAP, CDC and Health Security Partners to sharpen their skills in emergency preparedness, response, and recovery; because when a crisis hits, our programs need to be ready. 💪
This is what regional solidarity in public health looks like. See you in September! 🙌

The World Health Organization states that 305 million people worldwide are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance, including medical care and support for disease surveillance, due to worldwide conflict and epidemics. On January 16, 2025, the WHO launched its Health Emergency Appeal for 2025. The appeal addresses priorities and resources needed to combat 42 ongoing critical global health emergencies that are noted to have grown in scale. In 2025, HSP will continue its work to strengthen global health security by building local capacity to combat global health crises, as well as to work to prevent them. The WHO’s call to action is confirmation that the work being done within the global health community is vital to the individuals and communities that are in need, and that this need only grows every year. HSP is grateful to our partnerships across the globe, without whom we would not be able to accomplish our work, and we look forward to furthering our work to strengthen global health security in the coming years.
