CDC: Leading Global Health Security Efforts

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.
