• Alternative Title:

• Corporate Authors:
  Center for Global Health (U.S.)
• Description:
  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has collaborated with the Government of Guinea and other partners to control and end the Ebola outbreak that has been ongoing in Guinea since March 2014. Response activities have been coordinated with United States Government partners, the Government of Guinea, other foreign governments, and nonprofit organizations such as the CDC Foundation.
  
  In 2015, CDC opened a country office in Conakry to help Guinea develop and sustain capacities to prevent, rapidly detect and effectively respond to public health threats such as Ebola. Among the goals of the collaboration are development of a robust and effective surveillance response system with strong laboratory capabilities for rapid testing and diagnosis of infectious diseases and safe burial of identified cases. Priorities center on building and sustaining the government’s capacity to prevent and reduce the likelihood of outbreaks, to save lives through early detection of health threats, and to effectively respond to biological threats.
