The ongoing risk of global pandemics underscores the need for governments to adopt policies that support robust healthcare systems and effective preparedness strategies. We conducted a narrative literature review of the pandemic preparedness policies of 15 countries, spanning multiple geographic regions and high-income to lower-middle-income categories, focusing on crucial aspects of pandemic preparedness, such as R&D, manufacturing capacities, healthcare infrastructure and health system resilience. Through this review, we identify policies and strategies that are pragmatic, executable and adaptable to diverse national contexts, offering an adaptable framework to mitigate future pandemics while maintaining routine healthcare services. This holistic approach offers practical guidance for national and global stakeholders seeking to strengthen preparedness and ensure continuity of care during future health emergencies.
