Objectives Infectious diseases present significant challenges to global health security in contemporary, interconnected environments. This study aimed evaluate and compare performance Western Asia (WA), with a focus on income group-based disparities region-specific insights. Methods utilized the Global Health Security Index (GHSI) assess across 17 WA countries categorized by level. indicators for 2019 2021 were analyzed using D-CRITIC method determine relative importance of each indicator (Global Index, 2021): https://ghsindex.org/report-model/). A combined D-CRITIC-CoCoSo framework was employed rank countries, followed K-means clustering grading. The also investigated correlations between financial allocation’s outcomes Spearman’s correlation. comparative analysis elucidated regional categories. Results highlights WA’s progress prioritizing foundational systems, detection/reporting, rapid response, risk management. From 2021, priorities varied group, high-income focusing detection, upper-middle-income environments, low-income prevention. While some nations demonstrated improvement, others, such as Armenia, experienced decline, revealing persistent vulnerabilities. revealed variability capacity, both setbacks among different clusters. High- Qatar Georgia, leverage investments international partnerships improve their rankings, while conflict-affected, low-resource including Iraq, Yemen, Syria, face stagnation or decline. Strong observed resource allocation performance. Higher like Armenia Georgia led significantly improved outcomes, minimal spending Syria Yemen weakened resilience threats. Conclusion Disparities persist, underscoring need equitable cooperation enhance public security.
