    Area of Science:

    • Global health security
    • Infectious disease surveillance
    • Public health preparedness

    Background:

    • International Health Regulations mandate border measures to prevent infectious disease spread.
    • Assessing entry point capacity is crucial for global health security.
    • Benin's 2021 assessment focused on infectious threat detection at its borders.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the capacity of Benin's border entry points for detecting infectious threats.
    • To identify weaknesses in the current surveillance system.
    • To inform strategies for strengthening public health security at borders.

    Main Methods:

    • Cross-sectional, descriptive study at 17 border entry points.
    • Data collection via interviews, observation, and document review.
    • Capacity rated 'good' if 80% of input, process, and output criteria were met.

    Main Results:

    • Benin's border infectious threat detection capacity was insufficient.
    • No entry points met 80% of input criteria; few met process (11.8%) or output (5.9%) criteria.
    • Screening was not systematic, and health teams focused solely on COVID-19.

    Conclusions:

    • Strengthening the detection system is essential for improving border security.
    • Expanding surveillance to include diverse infectious threats is necessary.
    • Enhanced capacity at entry points is vital for global health security.
