Abstract

This chapter, titled “Public Health Functions from a Multinational Perspective,” maps core public health functions—surveillance, outbreak response, health promotion, and policy development—onto a multinational framework. It explores how interoperable EHR systems can enhance coordination across borders, especially during pandemics and humanitarian crises. Drawing on examples from regional blocs such as the African Union and ASEAN, the chapter identifies both technical and diplomatic challenges to multinational public health integration.
