CDC: Leading Global Health Security Efforts



A family watches a trachoma surveillance survey at their home in the village of Merina Mboupbene, Kébémer Department, Senegal on February 22, 2017. Teams composed of Ministry of Health staff and RTI staff traveled to Kébémer to carry out a trachoma surveillance survey. The activity includes household visits to assess the eyelids of community members to check for any signs of ongoing transmission of trachoma.  Kébémer was previously considered endemic for trachoma, but a recent impact survey found that the prevalence was below 5%, meaning treatment is no longer required. This survey assesses if there is any recurrence of transmission, or if the districts is on track to eliminate the disease.



CDC works with countries and partners around the world to build health security capabilities and keep America safe from deadly health threats. The Division of Global Health Protection (DGHP) leads the agency's efforts in the areas of disease surveillance, laboratory systems, workforce development, and outbreak investigation and emergency response. DGHP also builds scientific evidence about activities and interventions that enhance health security capacity.
The Building the Evidence Base for Global Health Security supplement shares lessons learned from efforts to build vital systems in multiple countries. Articles offer examples of effective interventions and strategies to improve the efficiency of ongoing programs. In addition, the supplement highlights a new scientific global health security framework as well as CDC's work with partners in disease prevention, detection, and response.
