The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) prepares for, prevents and responds to infectious diseases and environmental hazards to keep all our communities safe, to save lives and protect livelihoods.
The first strategic plan of UKHSA shares our vision to protect every person, community, business and public service from infectious diseases and environmental hazards, helping to create a safe and prosperous society.
Through scientific and operational leadership and in partnership with local, national and international partners our work will deliver 3 core goals:
- Prepare – be ready for, and prevent, future health security hazards
- Respond – save lives and reduce harm through effective response
- Build – develop the UK’s health security capacity
By ensuring our preparedness for, and ability to respond to, current and future health security threats, we will save lives and reduce harm, support the NHS, protect the nation’s public services and support economic growth.
The strategy sets out UKHSA’s ambitions to:
- be ready to respond to all hazards to health
- improve health outcomes through vaccines
- reduce the impact of infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance
- protect health from threats in the environment
- improve action on public health through data and insight
- develop UKHSA as a high-performing agency
The importance of strong health protection systems that address health inequalities has never been clearer. We recognise that health threats impact people in different ways, and often disproportionately impact certain groups. We want to see reductions in health inequality over the lifetime of this strategic plan to achieve more equitable outcomes.
