Description:The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is committed to improving health outcomes around the world by helping countries establish core public health functions that strengthen health systems.
CDC has worked to improve health outcomes around the world for more than 35 years. Today, CDC has more than 270 public health professionals and another 1,500 local hires working in more than 50 countries with Ministries of Health (MOHs) and other organizations to reduce the major causes of illness and death due to infectious and non-infectious causes such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, influenza, malaria, smoking, and injuries. Besides lending expertise in disease-specific areas, CDC works with partners to develop surveillance systems to detect health threats, laboratories that can accurately and quickly diagnose diseases, and epidemiology training programs so that in-country individuals have the skills to lead and manage their national public health systems.
