Collaborating to Strengthen Surveillance Systems Worldwide | Division of Global Health Protection | Global Health | CDC - ISS-G20 Laboratorium Repository

Surveillance systems are an essential component of every country’s core emergency response capability. CDC collaborates with more than 45 countries and regions to develop and support quicker and stronger surveillance systems that generate the data needed for rapid response during public health emergencies and improve global health security. Through training, technological innovations, and partnerships, CDC has prepared countries to monitor, find, and track outbreaks, as well as generate data that informs emergency response. These surveillance data are essential to guide and plan interventions, as well as to pinpoint where to look for new and unknown pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi, or other organisms that cause illness), allowing countries to effectively prevent, detect, and respond to disease threats.
