Health care is considered an essential component and foundation of national security for a number of reasons. Although national security traditionally refers to capabilities to build military power and defend against external threats, it also encompasses the protection and well-being of a country's citizens from a wide range of dangers, including health crises. This presentation presents some key points illustrating the relationship between health care and national security. This relationship is intertwined in a number of social, economic and political determinants such as public health emergencies, economic stability, health and demographic factors, biological threats, social cohesion, global health diplomacy, military preparedness, cyber security, preventive health measures and a number of others. In conclusion, health care plays a fundamental role in national security by protecting the physical and economic well-being of the citizens, enhancing resilience in times of crisis, and contributing to international stability and cooperation. A strong health system is an essential component of a nation's overall security strategy.
