This essay examines the relationship between international cooperation and national development, arguing that global collaboration enhances rather than hinders national progress. It highlights the crucial role of international cooperation in public health surveillance, emphasizing its significance in disease control, early warning systems, and vaccine-preventable diseases.

Introduction
Worldwide cooperation began in the First and Second Framework Programmed as development
aid. Currently, it is turning into a more extensive movement, with a major part in the
coordination of nations. Global participation is the relationship of associations or gatherings of
people speaking to different countries in the quest for a shared objective or intrigue. National
development is a procedure of reconstructing ion and advancement in different measurements of
a country. This essay argues that the international operation does not threaten the national
development this is because of the following: the international cooperation aims to explicitly
support the national development priorities. Firstly, world cooperation is necessary for the
contribution in disease control and prevention. Secondly, relations between nations will help to
improve the financial status of the country.
The universal public health surveillance is significant for the prevention and identification of
disease that is emerging and keep on re-emerging, the noncommunicable and infectious disease
which accounts for the largest disease burden. “The public health surveillance has the obligation
to provide the health information in a timely manner in order for countries to develop a plan for
curbing and preventing the disease now and in the future.“1There are several public health issues
which have effectively addressed by the maintenance and the development systems. It is evident
that the world is covered by an integrated system that is effective specimen channeling and to
genotyping in a period of days. The public health surveillance has many benefits to the

development of a nation. Surveillance identifies the early health emergencies, therefore, acting as
a system for early warning. Surveillance serves the purpose of documenting the impact of an
intervention towards goals of the public health that are specified. Surveillance is required so that
it can monitor and understand the condition epidemiology to set public guide policy and the
health strategies.
Global public health surveillance is very significant to the vaccine of the preventable diseases.
Surveillance is a significant part and an integral immunization program component. Data is
collected in many countries, analyzed and on the vaccine-preventable disease, a feedback is
given to the program so as to help in the guide activities. The health surveillance is majorly
important in monitoring the progress of various programs that are goal oriented. Such as measles
elimination and control, polio eradication and maternal. The health surveillance set up in a
country can be used as a backbone to the related surveillance immunization for other diseases.
“The surveillance networks established to provide support to the specific disease site
surveillance.”2 There is an importance on the laboratory confirmation for a vaccine-preventable
disease which includes polio. For such disease, a laboratory network that is global has been set
up, taking advantage of particular capacities of the network laboratories. The worldwide public
health surveillance plays a significant role in the mobilization and targeting of the sufficient
resources towards the goals impartation of health, this is majorly true in the low setting
resources. It is evident that the international operation does not threaten the national
development. This is because, with the implementation of the health surveillance in a country,

the practice of using various techniques. The advantage of using the system is that it helps the
country on detecting disease and planning on how to curb the disease and various measures are
placed in place.
Relations between nations will help to improve the financial status of the country. No country is
self-sufficient in its economy. Each country involves itself in different levels of the trade so as to
sell what it produces, in order for it to get what it lacks, and also have more efficient production
in other economic sectors. International trade is the exchange of the goods and products across
the national jurisdiction. Trade promotes the financial status of a country through the provision
of various goods majorly at a cheaper cost, notably due to economies of scale.
A country can produce efficiently in one economic sector using less resource than any other
country. A country, therefore, has an absolute advantage. “The international operation in the
economic sector can be improved through when the nation's trade places its focus on its absolute
advantage while importing what the nation lacks and exporting what it has a surplus
of.”3Although many countries have a negative notion of the absolute advantage, that it will gain
very little from engaging itself in the activity. The absolute advantage tends to be an enduring
characteristic majorly for the resource. Although a country can have an absolute advantage over
a variety of economic sectors, the country can focus on the comparative advantages sectors that
are ranked the highest. The nation can place its emphasis on the sector that it has a higher
comparative advantage as opposed to those that it has a less comparative advantage. The

comparative productivity increases the total production level therefore if a nation has no absolute
advantage, it can place its focus on the sectors where the productivity total gains are the most
significant. The comparative advantage can cause the temporary characteristic in the change of
the labor cost evolution. “The financial stability of a country is both a national and multinational
concern. “4 The international operation helps a nation in stabilizing its financial sector through
trade. Instability can increase the uncertainty and discourage investment and the economic
growth.
The international operation has improved the national development, this can be measured
through the living conditions and economic development of a country. The international
operation has impacted positively on the public health of a country and the financial sector of the
country. The strongest gains have been made by the developing countries and the advanced
countries. The low-income countries have not fully integrated the international operation, this is
because of the factors that are beyond their control. The international operation should progress
through the strengthening of the international financial system, through trade.
