SDGs – Auditing the SDGs

COVID-19 AND NATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH SYSTEMS

The global outbreak of COVID-19 presented an unprecedented health, humanitarian and economic crisis all over the world

As nations responded, the critical importance of national public health systems—and their capacity to detect and respond to health risks—became evident. The pandemic underscored the need for strong and resilient public health systems, an integrated approach, and attention to inequalities that leave vulnerable populations behind. These issues called for SAI examination and accountability efforts.

Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) provided relevant audit response through performance audits of implementation of SDG Target 3.d.

SAIs examined government efforts to strengthen capacities for early warning, risk reduction and management of national and global health risks (in line with SDG target 3.d). This cooperative Audit of Strong and Resilient National Public Health Systems (linked to SDG 3.d) was supported by IDI, in partnership with INTOSAI Knowledge Sharing Committee (KSC), INTOSAI Regions (ASOSAI, ARABOSAI and CAROSAI) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

OBJECTIVE OF THE AUDIT

The cooperative audit aimed to contribute to strong and resilient national public health systems that lead to good health and well-being for all. A key outcome sought was more equitable access to public health services and greater prioritization of vulnerable groups, including women, persons with disabilities, and the poor.
