Direct peers

• National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM): Netherlands' national public health R&D institute under the Ministry of Health, performing infectious disease surveillance, vaccination coordination, and population health research. Highly comparable to SPKC in statutory functions and data-driven operating model.
• Public Health Agency of Sweden (Folkhälsomyndigheten): Sweden's national public health agency responsible for disease surveillance, vaccination programs, and health promotion. Operates with a similar Nordic public-sector governance structure and comparable mandate to SPKC.
• Robert Koch Institute (RKI): Germany's federal public health institute responsible for disease surveillance, epidemiological analysis, vaccination guidance, and health statistics. Directly comparable to SPKC in statutory function and operational scope, with a similar mandate under national health ministry supervision.
• Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL): Finland's national research and development institute under the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health, covering disease prevention, health statistics, vaccination, and public health monitoring. Closely mirrors SPKC's combined surveillance, statistics, and prevention mandate.
• Norwegian Institute of Public Health (FHI): Norway's national public health institute conducting epidemiological surveillance, vaccination programs, and health statistics. Highly comparable to SPKC in mandate, governance (government-funded), and small-country operating model.

Regional players

• National Institute of Public Health – National Institute of Hygiene (Poland, NIPH NIH): Polish national public health institute with responsibilities for epidemiology, vaccination coordination, and health statistics. Comparable in statutory mandate to SPKC and operates in a neighboring EU/regional market with similar scale constraints.

Broad incumbents

• U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): U.S. federal agency for disease control and prevention. The global reference institution for the function SPKC performs at the Latvian national level — surveillance, vaccination guidance, health statistics, and outbreak response.
• European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC): EU-level public health agency that SPKC partners with directly for infectious disease surveillance and outbreak response. Comparable as the supranational tier of the same public health surveillance architecture SPKC operates at the national level in Latvia.
• UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA): UK government agency responsible for health protection, infectious disease surveillance, and pandemic response. Comparable in statutory function to SPKC, but operates at significantly greater scale and across a much larger population.

Others

• World Health Organization (WHO): UN specialized health agency that SPKC partners with directly for guidelines and disease surveillance alignment. Comparable as the supranational policy and standards-setter that frames SPKC's national-level activities.
