    Why does the world need Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC)?

Emerging and re-emerging threats across Africa and the world require rapid, coordinated action to contain them. As part of strengthening global health security, African Union Member States recognized the need for an Africa-owned institution that prevents, detects, and responds to public health threats.
