Issue title: Responding to global public health emergencies

Welcome to the third quarter Global Health E-Brief, designed to inform readers about key global health activities at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Our third issue for 2008 highlights how CDC has responded to global public health emergencies. Whether natural disasters such as cyclones or earthquakes; deadly, recurrent disease outbreaks; or man-made emergencies arising from political unrest, CDC is committed to working with Ministries of Health and other partners to assess and respond to public health needs resulting from these critical events.
