Abstract
In this chapter we discuss the main challenges and complexities in making health security decisions. This analysis may explain why taking health security decisions is a challenging process and highlight the benefits of using more systematic decision processes and reasoned approaches when making these decisions. We also examine how health security decisions are typically analyzed in practice and discuss the shortcomings intrinsic to the common assessment methods. The complexities involved in making these decisions, combined with these inadequate assessment methods, establish the basis for the need to improve the quality of health security decisions and to apply Health Decision Analysis.
