ReadyScore®

The ReadyScore is a measurement of a country's ability to find, stop and prevent health threats. A score of 80% or higher indicates that a country is ready for an epidemic. Learn More

Data source: WHO JEE reports

Portugal has not volunteered to conduct a transparent, external evaluation of its ability to find, stop and prevent health threats. This means that we don’t know if Portugal is prepared to prevent its people from epidemics and other health threats, potentially posing a risk to their people and the world.

Portugal has not committed to a JEE.
