Neftaly: Strengthening Health System Capacity for Emergency Preparedness and Response
Overview
In today’s unpredictable world, health emergencies such as pandemics, natural disasters, and outbreaks demand resilient and agile health systems. Neftaly is a comprehensive initiative designed to bolster health system capacity to prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies effectively. Our mission is to empower health institutions, professionals, and communities to safeguard health and save lives during crises.
