  "abstract": "Five years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, pushback against global health initiatives is common amidst declining health spending and growing nationalism. 1 2 But the threat of future pandemics, such as that posed by the widening mammalian transmission of influenza A (H5N1), underscores the need for strengthened collaboration. The new Global Health Emergency Corps (GHEC) is a body of experts in ministries and agencies in every country who work on health emergencies and the global ecosystem through which they coordinate. The GHEC framework3 aims to support the development of consistent workforce capacity across the core health emergency components,4 complemented by surge teams that can be deployed as needed through pre-agreed governmental mechanisms, and emergency leaders who are embedded within the highest level of health security coordination in the government.",
